Does Berliner mean 5780?
I am never certain but by my reading the year that starts tonight is 5779.
I am wrong. It is 5780. Shows you what my public school education did for me. I can sing “Onward, Christian Soldiers” but don’t know what year it is in the Jewish calendar!
I would have no idea what the year was either! Purely coincidentally, I just heard my rabbi say it in synagogue and I remembered it ended with a zero!
^^^also thank you for posting it – I enjoyed watching.
Shanah Tovah!
Truly beautiful. Thank you for posting.

It was a couple of days after Rosh Hashanah. One man asked his friend “How is your new year going?”. The friend replied “Shofar Sho Good!”
Thank you, Diane! I just sent this out far and wide. Wishing you and the world a sweet and just new year. L’Shana Tova!
Todah rabah (thank you very much), Diane! L’Shana Tovah to All!
L’shanah tovah tikateiv v’tichateinu. (Wishing you a sweet New Year {5780} & may you be inscribed for a good year.)
To everyone!
I always found it fitting that the school year started at the same time as Rosh Hashanah. It was always wonderful to go to synagogue & have a chance to pray for a good year for my students & their parents.
Now being retired, I still pray for all children & parents to have a good year, and the same to all of you dedicated educators reading this today.
What a lovely way ro wake up this morning. Thank you Diane for sharing this. Happy New Year to you.
Thank you.
The New Year is a time to look back and thank the Jewish people collectively for voting 80% against the tyranny of the racist, nationalistic party of Trump. Individually, a thank you is due to Diane Ravitch who has long fought, with success, to protect the most important common good of the world’s communities.
Much success in the New Year in the battle against oligarchs like Bill Gates and those who help him out of greed, personal and otherwise.
Thank you for posting this! Have shared with clergy from my synagogue, & other people I know!
Lovely.
