Happy New Year = Shana Tova From Doc to all at SD and WC and my special friend, Koop

Published on September 27, 2011 By DrJBHL In Personal Computing

Yesterday, Israel made available (digitally) the Dead Sea Scrolls to all interested in viewing them. They come with an magnify, outline and translate to English option.

So… I thought, what better way to wish my friends here (and to everyone, everywhere) a “Happy New Year” than with one of my favorite quotes from Isaiah.

I recently went to Photoshop school (Lesa Snider, G-d Bless you for the wonderful teacher you are!) with Hankers (and a special blessing to you, my friend).

My warped and devious mind decided to put these events together and (as is my way, yearly) to wish all

A Wonderful, Healthy, Peaceful, Productive and Creative New Year

So here it is, with great love to you all…

Shana Tova!

May it be true in our lifetime

P.S: the verse sounds quite unnatural in English as it's much better in Biblical Hebrew, but its meaning is just as strong.

That will be a happy day.

Looks like Snoopy's typewriter is a bit wonky....

Translation (sorry, rude of me to forget...):

@Gormoth1:

You're right...but there's nothing to do, that's the translation.

A fellow Hebrew speaker, NICE!

Shana Tova Doc.

Is that appropriate? Not being Jewish I had to ask.

Gormoth1

What being appropriate?

Uvah

Is Shana Tova a greeting? A wish? What? Call me ignorant but if I don't ask I'll never know.

Gormoth1

Oh! It's a greeting. It literally means: 'A good year' in Hebrew:

Shana = Year

Tova = Good (female tense, there's a difference between male and female in Hebrew).

When said as a greeting to someone, its meaning turns to: '(may you have a) happy new year'.

Explained perfectly. Expecting guests so was away from my 'puter. Lots to do and errands to run.

Thanks, Uvah... you did just fine!

Thanks for sharing this. Being able to look verse by verse with the translations is great.

Last time I checked there's a difference between male and female in more things than just Hebrew.... Spell checker ....
