Dear readers of the Sandler Family Archives blog. I haven't been posting much this year or last year. I am hoping to post more in the new year. Tonight is Erev Rosh Hashanah. Memories of Boby and Zaidy. My candles are lit, apples and honey await to be eaten along with chicken soup. Rosh Hashanah is coinciding with the last baseball game at Fenway Park of the regular season. We are playing Toronto, hoping for a miracle as the Sox are down 2-1 in the 9th inning as I write this. I'm thinking of Roby and Aunt Ruth and my mother. They all would be thrilled to know the Red Sox managed to stay at the top of the Eastern Division. We clinched it last week even though we just lost this game. The pre-game ceremony for Big Pappi's last game of the regular season lasted almost an hour. Boston named a bridge and a street near Fenway after him. Terrific player, watching these games has been bittersweet knowing this was his last year. He is retiring.
May you be inscribed and sealed in the Book of Life for a good + sweet year. My friend Paula sent me the above colorful, collage new year's card.
The Hebrew common greeting on Rosh Hashanah is Shanah Tovah (Hebrew: שנה טובה)
(pronounced shana toˈva]), which translated from Hebrew means "[have] a
good year". Often Shanah Tovah Umetukah (Hebrew: שנה טובה ומתוקה), meaning "A Good and Sweet Year", is used.
Cousin Ellen emailed to let me know she is moving back to Florida, going home. All the best, good luck and good health to everyone in the new year.
