Don't feel too bad MadMax. A few years ago, I walked into a meeting with some Jewish clients at work, and wished them Happy Dradle.
Pretty sure the jews made this holiday up about a decade ago. Talked to a few and I've confirmed this. Why would jews create a new holiday?
Yes, truly this is a made-up holiday. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosh_Hashannah#Historical_origins Goyim.
Are you jewish? Let's say this: It wasn't recognized as anything 20 years ago. Ergo, it's a made-up holiday. We'll see what new one they come up with in the future.
Fatty, demonstrating proper shofar-blowing technique: I think you're confusing Rosh Hashanah with Kwanzaa. I know I get those mixed up all the time. I'm just a plucky middle-aged black missus trying to get by, just hoping, the Good Yahweh willing, that my teenaged kids will one day make it out of here, and don't get shot up in any Bloods & Crips crossfires (which happen nightly in my tightly-knit yet underprivileged inner-city neighborhood).
It wasn't recognized by whom? You? I'm 34 and I'm fairly certain I celebrated it with my family well before I was 14.
My family has been celebrating Rosh Hashanah for years. It's the Jewish New Years, when we restart the Torah from the beginning. How would this holiday be made up so quickly? Did the Jews just invent the Torah a decade ago? Joke or not, you are a jerk.
I assumed you were joking about this, but now it's looking like you may not be. If in fact you are being serious... oh boy.
I didn't realize Popeye was jewish... why is he cheating on Olive Oil? Hey Fatty, Welcome to the year 5750... You know that's a bigger # than 2009 L'shana Tova to all my jewish brothas... almost time to repent!! (followed by gorging on tons of bagels and your respective family noshings)
And a L'shana Tova to you too. At least Yom Kippur is on a Sunday and Monday so it doesn't make the whole weekend foodless.
