Curious how to greet your Jewish loved ones throughout these holidays and festival? (This is ESPECIALLY important this year because so many of us feel alone– wish your friends a happy holiday!) Hebrew and English variations are all appropriate.
“Shana Tova!” (”Happy New Year!”) – especially appropriate on Rosh Hashanah, but appropriate throughout the High Holy Day season.
“l’Shana Tova u’metuka!” (”Have a sweet and happy new year!”) Similar to the above, especially appropriate on Rosh Hashanah, but appropriate throughout the High Holy Day season.
“Chag Sameach” (“Happy Holiday”) – appropriate on Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, and Simchat Torah
“Have a Meaningful Day” – appropriate for Yom Kippur
“Have an easy/meaningful fast” – appropriate for Yom Kippur, but only if you know that the person is choosing to fast this year. O
