Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, began Sunday evening with services at synagogues throughout Ventura County. Tashlich ceremonies, in which congregations walked to the nearest body of water, took place Monday, along with the blowing of the shofar. “We visit a body of water to symbolically cast our sins into the ocean, free of negativity,” said Rabbi Moshe Bryski of Chabad of the Conejo.

The Vaad Talmidei Hatmimim Ha’olami arranged a welcoming event for the Bochurim who arrived in Crown Heights to spend Tishrei in the Rebbe’s courtyard. 1,500 bochurim, Rabbonim, Mashpi’im and Shluchim attended the inspiring event, which began as the fast of Tzom Gedalia ended, and lasted until the early hours of Thursday morning.
The flame passes from one set of slender fingers to another, each candle blessed with light, as a rough and beautiful tongue bids the new year a welcome.
The idea should not be a novelty, but the event is a first. Chol Hamoed Sukkos will see the ‘Night Owls’ and The Moshe Hecht Band take the stage, along with other homegrown acts in the first ever Keren Simchas Chosson V’kalah Fundraiser Concert right here in Crown Heights.

CROWN HEIGHTS [CHI] — A Crown Heights father’s pleasant Rosh Hashanah evening turned into a nightmare as he returned home from a meal on the second night of Rosh Hashanah. A gun was pointed at him point blank, and no matter how much he tried to explain that a Jew would not have money on a holiday, the mugger was unmoved – he pulled the trigger.
When Joseph Kaltmann blows a ram’s horn called a shofar, the trumpetlike sound is booming, piercing, just “really loud,” according to his son, Rabbi Areyah Kaltmann of New Albany, Ohio. The vigor with which the 84-year-old man blows is inspired by the sounds he heard as a teen lying half-dead in a World War II Nazi concentration camp in Halberstadt, Germany.
