A Jewish man walks past a window of a shop with a large poster greeting in hebrew "Shana Tova" or Happy new year in the religious neighborhood of Mea Shearim in Jerusalem, on Sep 06, 2009. Rosh Hashanah, literally "head of the year," is the first of the High Holidays. Rosh Hashanah is the start of the civil year in the Hebrew calendar. Rosh Hashanah commemorates the creation of man whereas five days earlier, on 25 of Elul, marks the first day of creation. Photo by Kobi Gideon/ FLASH90
