Can Jews Wish 'Happy New Years' ? #newyears #jewish

✨ Happy New Year! ✨
From Rabbi Aaron Raskin

This story about the Rebbe shows us that is totally kosher to wish "Happy New Year" on this day!

As it says in Tehillim, "God counts by the calendars of the nations of the world."

So, as is the custom, take this moment to reflect and make a resolution! A good resolution has the power to bring blessings for the year ahead. 🌟

Wishing you and your loved ones a year of health, joy, and meaningful growth. May it be a year of peace, success, and revealed goodness for the whole world!

God bless you! Happy new year to you as well!

Thank you, Rabbi. I was wondering if such was proper behavior. Happy New Year to you and yours!

Thank you, Rabbi Raskin! I went to Pratt University and he was such a mentsch. He along with Rabbi simcha Weinstein both were instrumental in me living a Jewish life.

Love this.
Makes me feel happy and I had an opportunity this year to be the first to wish the pilot of the plane that I took exactly at midnight as I got off the plane. It was very joyful.🎉😊

I suppose it is much in the same way as the nations consider the day begins with sunrise while we begin it at sundown. We began this year at Rosh Hashanah. And now, that light enters the world.

Thank you for the clarification. We do not celebrate it as Jews, so we always refrained for even saying it!

Yes, we are not in eternity, God is so we wish our mankind a whole year of happiness at least not guarantee only God can do that so let's prey to God for worldwide happiness even those who are our enemies not just those who make us happy but also those who made us sad for that would make God happy that we wish each other good things... So forth with God's Love and Faithfulness and mankind's good will not I'll will. Happy New Year whatever calenders you use and go by as long as you keep believing... BTW Earth rotates in a day by itself and around our nearest Star, the sun, in 365 days, that's double rotation and God only knows how many rotations in the universe... Let's travel through space and time in truth, peace and Faithfulness and all that is good for all. Thanks and God bless...

Jews can also accept Jesus Christ as the Messiah like the first Christians. Only his blood is sufficient payment for our sins. God bless.

It is the calendar which everyone follows wether jew or non jew based on the arrival of the Messiah.All transactions follow this calendar.
