Friday evening was the beginning of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year. People in Jewish communities across the Bay Area gathered for prayers and celebration. In the Oakland Hills, there was a unique celebration, where families spoke about their hopes for the new year. A song celebrating Rosh Hashanah, the start of the Jewish New Year, rang out in the Oakland Hills Friday evening, as a crowd sang and gathered outside for a unique service that has become a 15-year tradition in the Bay Area.
"It's a beautiful place to celebrate the new year and It's really amazing to have so many Jewish people in one place outside enjoying things together so really happy to celebrate," said Margot Schmorak, who came from San Francisco with her children. Serena's mother Sue Reinhold and step-mother Rabbi Deborah Newbrun listened to Serena's idea and decided to gather outdoors with some close friends.
"It's a way to help people bring out their soul, connect with the messages of the holiday so that they can be transformed by the gift and the technology that Judaism gives us to renew our lives," said Rabbi Newbrun. Brysk says the Jewish Community Federation, has been helping Jewish groups do security checks to make them safer during this holy time, as people reflect on ways to make the world and new year better.
