:>Hebrew: Mo'adim Lesimkha. Chena tova

First one: A greeting during the middle days of Passover or Tabernacles.

Second one: Shanna Tova would be the logical equivalent of "Happy New Year".

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.
