In a previous post, Ronald S. Lauder to spend evening of Rosh Hashanah with Francis, we wrote about the Talmudic/Kabbalistic holiday of Rosh Hashanah. Some blogs and media outlets, which we choose not to name, referred to our post and informed their readership that Call Me Jorge... didn't know what they were talking about. They all claimed Rosh Hashanah was an Old Testament holiday as celebrated today. This is laughable. To demonstrate to the contrary we do know some about the Tamludic/Kabbalistic holiday of Rosh Hashanah we include some information posted on the World Jewish Congress' facebook page.
This pre-war drawing shows a group of men practicing Taschlich, the custom involving going to a river or creek on Rosh Hashanah and casting a piece of bread into the river symbolizing the “casting off” of sins. Are you ready for the new year 5775? Shana tova!

So Christians, get a hunk of bread, go down to the river, transfer your sins to the hunk of bread, and throw it into the river. Why go to a priest as instituted by Christ, when you can do it the Talmudic way?
