Rosh Hashanah Cards
Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year. Like the New Year's Day of the Gregorian calendar, it is known as a time of reflection of the year that just passed and inspiration and planning for the year ahead. There are many beautiful Rosh Hashanah card designs to choose from.
The Star of David, a highly recognizable symbol of Judaism, is often featured on cards for the Jewish New Year. It represents the number seven, which is significant in many ways. The menorah with its seven candles is also symbolic of the Jewish faith, and it too is frequently seen on Jewish New Year cards.
A traditional Jewish greeting wishes Jews a "sweet new year". This is symbolized by eating apples and honey on Rosh Hashanah. This tradition is also carried over into some card designs, with pictures of the foods and sweet New Year wishes.
Scenes from Jerusalem and other items representative of Israel are popular graphics for Jewish New Year cards. The walls of Jerusalem are one of the most recognizable symbols of the city.
Scrolls representing the Torah also frequently decorate Rosh Hashanah cards. Some cards are even shaped similarly to the Torah for a unique and beautiful Jewish New Year greeting.
Rosh Hashanah cards often wish recipients a happy new year full of peace and love. Personalization is a popular option, and usually includes the names of everyone in the family.
The Jewish New Year is an important holiday to those of the Jewish faith. Jews traditionally send Rosh Hashanah cards to one another. Even non-Jewish friends and businesses often wish their Jewish counterparts a happy Rosh Hashanah, and sending a card commemorating the occasion is a thoughtful gesture.
