ya'lLâh,
Sundown today marks the arrival of ראש השנה (Ro'sh hash-Shånåh), the Jewish New Year for "people, animals and legal contracts", which begins the 10-day period called "the High Holidays" in English and "The Days of Awe" in Hebrew.
Sundown today also marks the arrival (in North America) of رمضان (Rama'9ân, or "Ramadan"), a month devoted to fasting, prayer and good will. It ends on 3 November with a spectacular holiday, عيد الفطر ("Eid ul-Fitr" 3îdu-'lFi6r), the first day of the next lunar month.
If you practice either of these traditions, happy holidays!
