Happy new year 5774

Patronat Call de Girona wishes you a happy new year 5774

Patronat Call de Girona wants to wish you a happy Jewish new year by remembering some words written a long time ago somewhere in the Jewish quarter of Girona:

Shana Tova, i que sigui un bon any Sinch Milia e Set-Cents Setanta-quatre al criament del mon al comta que nos comtams açi en Gerona


[Shana Tova, may it be a good year five thousand seven hundred seventy four since the creation of the world, following the calculation used here in Girona]

(adaptation of the text translated from Astruga's ketubah, a Jewish woman from Girona, 14th century)
