In observance of the Jewish New Year - Rosh Hashanah - The Florida Law Weekly offices in Tallahassee will be closed on Thursday, Oct. 3.
Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown tonight and ends at nightfall on Friday, Oct. 4. It is often celebrated by hearing the sounding of the shofar, made of a ram's horn, and Jewish communities gather at synagogues for prayer service. It is also celebrated by lighting candles each evening, festive holiday meals, and a special repentance prayer recited near bodies of water known as Tashlich. The traditional greeting, “Have a good and sweet New Year,” is also used.
Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of the Jewish High Holy Days leading up to Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement and the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.
Wishing all of our members in the Florida legal community who celebrate a blessed and happy Rosh Hashanah. 🕎
FLW will reopen Friday, Oct. 4, at 9 am.
