By arose8

The Jewish holiday Rosh Hashanah celebrates a new year, when Jews reflect on their lives through the teachings of the Torah, and according to Hillel Development and Jewish Life Associate Ginny Vellani, the Torah is "special." "The Jews respect the Torah like it was a person," Vellani said. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/GLwWjIe6JWM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> But the Torah isn't read like your average book; they are carefully written out, letter by letter, with a special Hebrew calligraphy. "That person trains their entire life to have the skills to write a Torah," Vellani said.

"If an officer comes up to you when you're just hanging out and says 'Hey how about the Phoenix... how about your classes,' you're still free to go," Marshall said.
