The Naked Truth of Renewal
Rosh Hashanah reminds us: starting fresh works best |
Rosh Hashanah is here — the Jewish New Year — which literally means “Head of the Year.” We love that, because let’s be honest, most of us celebrate being “head to toe” free year-round.
Instead of champagne flutes and hangovers, Rosh Hashanah is about sweet beginnings. Apples dipped in honey, round challah loaves, pomegranates with a multitude of seeds — all symbols of abundance and hope for a year ahead that’s rich, juicy, and deliciously sweet.
In synagogue, the shofar (ram’s horn) is blown — not quite the kind of horn-blowing you might be used to at a nudist event, but still a powerful wake-up call for the soul. It kicks off the High Holy Days: ten days to reflect, reset, and start fresh.
So whether you’re celebrating in synagogue, skinny-dipping under the stars, or both — take a moment to savor the sweetness. Dip that apple, lick the honey, and wish your friends a hearty “Shanah Tovah” — a good, sweet new year.
Here’s to a year ahead with fewer clothes, fewer regrets, and way more sweetness.
