5774 eh?

157 was the street address of the house I grew up in
HQ57 was the vehicle number of the APC I used to drive.
That APC was an M577
'77 is the year I joined the Army
'74 is the year I got my first girlfriend
774 is the area code of my old work phone number
574 was my student number in Airborne School

I wonder what this omen foretells? :o

Thank you. I'm not Jewish myself. As a Christian brother, I feel honored that you wish to share your holiday with me.

I send an sms to my boss yesterday that I wont come to work today because I celebrate Rosh Kashana.
He took it seriously and asked me what am I doing at work today if I said I was not coming :haha:


May your family be blessed in this new year and may your children not have a nose of a camel :up:

Guten Rutsch! :salute:
Didn't know about it, but coincidently I did yesterday what everyone one New Year's Eve does: :Kaleun_Cheers:

Salud! Congratulations also from Luftwaffe Field Marshall Erhard Milch, Goering's deputy;


I doubt that a companion of the founder of the Gestapo, who denied having a jewish father even after WW2, would really wish a happy new year to the jewish folks...

An M577, you must of been in an artillery FDC unit. So was I.:rock:

Besides being the Jewish new year, by the civil calendar, it's also The Feast of Trumpets by the Holy Calendar.

I don't understand why people are surprised at this. Iran has no hatred against the Jews. The second largest Jewish population in the ME is in Iran. Jews are even a protected religion in their constitution. Jews are treated better in Iran than in some other ME countries. :yep:

It is the state of Israel that Iran, and many others, dislike. Not the religion.

BTW, it was the Iranian Foreign Minister who tweeted that using the President's account (which is the surprising thing).

Diplomacy makes wonders.

How cool is that.:haha:

Well it is all relative. The fact that they are treated better is not necessarily the same as saying they are treated well. It is probably more a reflection on the other ME countries than on Iran. :yep:

I am not a Jew, but I grew up around Jews. Does that make me Jewish?
