Rosh Hashanah 5786, the Jewish New Year. Shana Tova in postcards!

by Bob Schwartz

Rosh Hashana 5786, the Jewish New Year, began on the evening of September 22. The High Holidays, the Days of Awe, end on Yom Kippur, October 2.

Following are some of the Rosh Hashanah postcards created over the last century. You may specially note the last two, one that appears to be a Pop Art version, one that wishes a good year by sitting on a sofa, mustached and open shirted, lasciviously open groping a short-skirted friend. I’m not sure that’s a kosher way of greeting the holiest days of the year, but who knows? God knows!

Shana tova! A good year!
