quickly for these these classes that we'll talk a little bit about Rosh Hashanah um there is no Parsha this week but I will tell you a little bit about the partial next week and then we will get to our big question for today which is why did God create us that's that's a big one so we're gonna hopefully get to that soon but bear with me so firstly for our class itself so this year we're gonna have a number of holidays we kind of enter our holiday season but we have four holidays Rosh Hashanah Yom Kippur sukode and sheminia Hashanah Yom Kippur sukode and sheminia Terror or simcatore which is the same holiday but two days um are all within three or 22 days of each other so we have lots of holidays that all come together it's our Jewish holiday season so now what actually happens interesting trivia is that the same days of the week of the two days of Rosh Hashanah is always the same days of the week as the two days the first two days of Sukkot which is a holiday that we don't work as well as the same days of the week of the Festival of srinyatara Festival of srinyatara um they're all the same days of the week so this year they're all on Shabbat uh Friday night shabbat and Sunday so they're all weekends which is great for those that have to always ask their boss off for work for the holidays because you don't have to worry about that there's only one day you're going to miss this year young people which is on a Monday um but you know instead of missing seven days as you do often the seven days that we don't work within a three week period um but it's not great for our class
