This thread, now in its fifth year, is a Menolly creation. The other is a new one from MsMary.

No harm in multiple wishes for a shana tova. We all want and need a good year, nu?

SD -- what does "nu" mean? I've seen you and Menolly using it and have been meaning to ask. I'm guessing it's Yiddish for "don't you agree?"

Yiddish, yes, and derived from the Russian nu, meaning "well" or "so." Your definition works, but there is more to it.
In [i]The Joy of Yiddish[/i], Leo Rosten wrote:"Nu" is a remarkably versatile interjection, interrogation, expletive.

Nu is the verbal equivalent of a sigh, a frown, a grin, a grunt, a sneer. It is an expression of amusement or recognition or uncertainty or disapproval. It can be used fondly, acidly, tritely, beligerently.

Nu is a qualification, an emphasizer, an interrogation, a caster of doubt, an arrow of ire. It can convay pride, deliver scorn, demand response.
Think of nu as the equivalent of the Canadian "eh."

May we all be sealed in the Book of Life with a good seal for the upcoming year.

For those observing...

May y'all have a Happy and Sweet New Year!
"The Maccabeats: (Book of) Good Life"

Woke up and realized yesterday
Think it's a bummer end of the summer
Kinda nervous that we're almost there
At the days of awe

Prayers in a language that I don't know
Standing for hours and hours more
I wish that someone would please tell me-e-e-e
What it is we're praying for

Oh put me in the book of good life
I just wanna live the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

Say oh, we've got feelings that we should fight
Make sure that we're choosing right
Gotta earn my own place in
The book of good life

Time for reflection on the past year
Time to figure out what we're doing here
Replace the guilt with inspiration
And everything is clear

Life in the present, the here and now
Easier than regret and planning out
Living in the moment, lasts for a moment
Got my future to think about

When you're sitting there in shul
Wishing it was over
You gotta take a beat
And let it all sink in

Oh put me in the book of good life
I just wanna live the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

Say oh, we've got feelings that we should fight
Make sure that we're choosing right
Gotta earn my own place in
The book of good life

Hopefully
This year will bring us happiness and peace
Hopefully
Sensitivity to others will increase
Hopefully
We'll open our eyes and think more consciously
Cuz Hopefully
We'll go from where we are to where we want to be

Oh put me in the book of good life
I just wanna live the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

Say oh, we've got feelings that we should fight
Make sure that we're choosing right
Gotta earn my own place in
The book of good life

Oh yeah
Book of Good life
Ooh

Listen
Time for reflection on the past year
Time to figure out what we're doing here
Replace the guilt with inspiration
And everything is clear

Life in the present seems more fun
Easier than regret, what's done is done
Living in the moment, lasts for a moment
Shana Tova to everyone!
