Same to you my FRiend.
And L’Shana Tova! to all who celebrate this holiday.
l’shana tova umetuka!
Have a happy a bountiful new year and may you be inscribed in the book of life!
"It's Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt."
Especially when mocking someone wishing Rosh Hashana greetings to fellow FRiends.

Best of luck in your contract negotiatons, which I would advise your side to be, "Whatever you say, Boss."
Happy New Year..all the best, health and happiness!!
I would be happy to be included as one of your Mishpocha
It is high time to make known the glad tidings in these dark regions of sin and spiritual bondage. - Author: Samuel Marsden

“My holiday honey cake just came out of the oven. OMG, you could get high on the yummylicious aroma from it!”
I imagine I could! (Just about sundown now in NYC I think!)
Shofar so good.
One of the nicest compliments this Gentile ever received was when the owner of our local hardware store (who I didn’t even know was Jewish) wished me a “Happy New Year” on this same night. My take on that was that he appreciated me enough to include me in on his celebration - classy, huh?
With little doubt, your friend in Israel indeed does enjoy the depth of Rosh Ha’Shanah, which is a symbolic time for introspection, self-improvement, improved interpersonal relations, and renewal. Even Jews who declare themselves “secular,” are still steeped in the rich lessons and ceremonial, cultural aspects of their religion.
A Jewish person in Israel - likely any person in Israel - would have to have hidden himself under a rock to not absorb the atmosphere and teachings about introspection about how one conducted oneself this past year and commitment to do specific things that will be making one an even better person in the coming year. Rosh Ha’Shanah celebrates the new year on the Hebrew calendar. The year that is beginning tonight, Monday, Sept 6 at nightfall, is the year 5783 on the Hebrew calendar.
The ten days that follow are focused on repenting and asking forgiveness directly from people who we might not have treated as we should have. Mistakes one made in his relationship with God are addressed between the person and God. This is a ten-day period of especially focused repentance.
Yon Kippur, ten days after Rosh Ha’Shanah, is the day of judgement by God for each individual for the coming year.
