policies, together with sufficient patience, will lead to growth
reaching the weaker strata. The key to overall success also
depends on increased employment and we have had Pursuant to Article 31b of Israel Basic Law: The Israel Cabinet decided to transfer responsibility for dealing with disputes within the Church of the Holy Sepulcher to Minister Rafi Eitan.

See http://tinyurl.com/2bt7aj for further details. The Israel News Agency takes this opportunity to wish all of our readers a healthy, happy, prosperous and peaceful Shana Tova for the Jewish New Year. Rosh Hashanah occurs on the first and second days of Tishri. In Hebrew, Rosh Hashanah means, literally, "head of the year" or "first of the year." Rosh Hashanah is commonly known as the Jewish New Year. The Bible refers to the holiday as Yom Ha-Zikkaron (the day of remembrance) or Yom Teruah (the day of the sounding of the shofar). The holiday is instituted in Leviticus 23:24-25. The shofar is a ram's horn which is blown somewhat like a trumpet. One of the most important observances of this holiday is hearing the sounding of the shofar in the synagogue. A total of 100 notes are sounded each day. There are four different types of shofar notes: tekiah, a 3 second sustained note; shevarim, three 1-second notes rising in tone, teruah, a series of short, staccato notes extending over a period of about 3 seconds; and tekiah gedolah (literally, "big tekiah"), the final blast in a set, which lasts 10 seconds minimum. No work is permitted in Israel on Rosh Hashanah. Much of the day is spent in synagogue, where the regular daily liturgy is somewhat expanded. There is a special prayerbook called the machzor used for the Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur because of the extensive liturgical changes for these holidays. Another popular observance during this Jewish holiday is eating apples dipped in honey, a symbol of our wish for a sweet new year. The common greeting at this time is L'shanah tovah ("for a good year"). On
this first day of the new Jewish year, the Jewish nation, Israel,
continues to reach out for peace, trade and prosperity with
our Arab neighbors but remains more than ready for any threat
coming from Syria or Iran. That the Israel army is not that
same army which marched into Lebanon a year ago and pushed Iran
and Hezbollah deep back into Northern Lebanon. That Israel wishes
the good people of Lebanon freedom from Syria and Iran. And
lastly that the Israel Defense Forces will take whatever actions
are required to defend the citizens of Israel from Islamic terrorism.
