Frequently asked questions
What is the traditional Rosh Hashanah greeting?
The most common greeting is Shanah Tovah, meaning a good year. You'll also hear L'shanah tovah and the fuller Shanah Tovah U'Metukah, meaning a good and sweet year. Happy New Year works perfectly well too, since Rosh Hashanah marks the Jewish New Year.
What do you write in a Rosh Hashanah card?
Open with Shanah Tovah or Happy New Year, then add a warm, personal wish — for health, sweetness, or a good year ahead. References to apples and honey are a lovely touch. Keep it sincere; a short, heartfelt line is always welcome.
Are flowers a good gift for Rosh Hashanah?
Yes. A bright, fresh arrangement is a thoughtful way to wish someone a sweet new year, especially if you're invited to a holiday meal. Warm, cheerful blooms suit the celebration well. Local florists across Toronto & the GTA can hand-deliver, often same-day.
When is Rosh Hashanah?
Rosh Hashanah falls in September or early October, at the start of the High Holy Days that lead to Yom Kippur. The exact dates follow the Hebrew calendar and shift a little each year, so it's worth checking before you send your wishes.
