Shana tova means good year in hebrew, today is rosh hashana (head of the year, the beginning of the year according to the jewish calander). I recently
heard the names of the months in the muslim calander, and not surprisingly alot of them are exactly the same as on the jewish one, just a point of
interest.
Anyway, shana tova and ramadan kareem to everyone. (What does kaareem mean?)..

Hi Masel,
Thanks for the translation ....
Kareem means generous. The reasone they call it Kareem, because in Ramadan mulsims gives a lot of food and money for poor people, more than any other
mounths during the year and that because of religin reason, for forgiveness from god and getting closer to him as muslim
Thanks

Shana tova lakhem ve ramadan karim lakum!
Dear Dubai244, shana is like sana (just add three dots on the sin and you get the hebrew shana), tova is like ta'iba (in hebrew the b became a v when
in certain place in the word or at the end)...

Hi Dubai244 and to all,
Actually it 's not only the jews new year but the new year for all the human kind, as jews believe it is the day of the creation of the world, and
that this present "world" or era (there were other worlds before, which were destroyed so that the present world could come into being) started
exactly (according to jewish tradition and belief) 5768 years ago, so we are entering in year 5768. I'm not sure why this month and not another, but
it may be for the same reason that muslims enter their holiest month at roughly the same period I guess.

Benjamin, I'm not an expert on jewish tradition but I was having this conversation today with my grandparents, and the jewish year is calculated from
the date of Moses recieving the ten commandments on mount sinai, not the creation of the world, which is obviously a lot older.

Hi Masel,
You may have been confused by the fact that the jewish calendar start with the month of Nissan, which is the date of receiving the Thora indeed. The
new year, Rosh HaShana, starts on the seventh month of the jewish calendar (yeah strange people ;-) ), and marks the creation of the world, and during
this period not only the Jews but also all the human being are judged and are invited not to repeat the sins they made during the year, and to improve
their behaviour for the new year.

Benjamin shalom
Our calender starts at our first month of our calender (Tishrey) and not on the seventh month of our calender (Nissan) . at the seventh we are
celebrating Pessah which is the day we came out of Egypt and started our journey to Israel throw Sinai dezert which lasted 40 years.
