Rosh Hashanah Card Etiquette Tips
Reference sweetness
The theme of sweetness runs through Rosh Hashanah traditions. Wishing someone a 'sweet new year' ties your message to the holiday's symbolism in a natural, meaningful way.
Acknowledge the reflective tone
Rosh Hashanah begins the Days of Awe, a period of introspection leading to Yom Kippur. A message that balances joy with thoughtfulness shows you understand the depth of the holiday.
Send it on time
A card that arrives before Rosh Hashanah shows forethought and care. Digital cards are a great option if you are running close to the date.
Keep it warm
Whether you are Jewish or not, a sincere wish for a good year ahead is always welcome. Do not overthink it -- warmth and sincerity matter more than perfect phrasing.
