Rosh Hashanah, which in 2008 falls on September 29, begins the celebration of the Jewish New Year. Ring in the year 5769 with a card expressing a traditional wish: Shana Tova Umetukah, or "a good and sweet year." A cheery pomegranate, whose numerous seeds are said to symbolize the 613 Jewish commandments, adds to the card's sweet sentiment.
