Sunset today marks the start of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year. As you might know, my wife (Wife!
Gotta get used to saying that) is Jewish, and we’ll celebrate with the
traditional apples and honey as well as adding an Asian twist by having
noodles for dinner — the traditional Chinese New Year food symbolizing
long life.
Whether you say “happy new year” as “shana tovah!” or “manigong bagong taon!“, have a happy one, everybody!
This year’s Shabot 6000 comic on Rosh Hashanah is a Flash animation that plays off the tequila/tekiyah
pun. Alas, it’s nowhere nearly as good as last year’s comic, which
remains, in this humble gentile’s opinion, the best Rosh Hashanah comic
ever:
