It is also the holiday of Rosh Hashana.
The Jewish "Days of Awe" also begins now. |

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The U.S. military began releasing Iraqi detainees on Thursday to mark the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, an Iraqi official said. The military reached a deal with Sunni Arab Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi last month to conduct special Ramadan releases. It says it is holding 23,000 Iraqis.
Omar al-Jubouri, an adviser on human rights to Hashemi, told Reuters that 43 Iraqis were freed from the Camp Cropper detention facility near Baghdads international airport. Between 50 to 80 Iraqis would be freed each day from U.S. prisons in Iraq during the holy month. |

VDiamond,
Here is a good link to start urj.org/holidays/roshhashanah/ And here is an interesting link to a synagogue's website that has an excellent description - AND a link to Barbara Streisand singing Aveinu Malkeinu, one of the most beautiful of the prayers for the day. And Streisand, of course, gives it meaning that can provoke tears. www.templesanjose.org/Jud...shanah.htm There are more in-depth articles, also. Let me know if you are intereasted. Jeff |
