    Technically, the first day of Rosh Hashana fell on the eve of Eid ul-Fitr, but the fact that they were so close together this year made it worth mentioning. At least, that's what the BBC Interfaith calendar tells me. I'll just have to trust it.

    For those who don't know, I'll let Wikipedia do the talking with a brief summary for each:

    Eid ul-Fitr (Arabic: عيد الفطر 'Īdu l-Fiṭr‎), often abbreviated to Eid, is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting (sawm). Eid is an Arabic word meaning "festivity", while Fiṭr means "conclusion of the fast"; and so the holiday symbolizes the celebration of the conclusion of the month of fasting from dawn to sunset during the entire month of Ramadan (calendar month). The first day of Eid, therefore, is the first day of the month Shawwal that comes after Ramadan.

    Rosh Hashanah (Hebrew: ראש השנה‎, literally "Head of the year," Israeli: Hebrew pronunciation: [ˈʁoʃ haʃaˈna], Ashkenazic: ˈɾoʃ haʃːɔˈnɔ, Yiddish: [ˈrɔʃəˈʃɔnə]) is a Jewish holiday commonly referred to as the "Jewish New Year." It is observed on the first day of Tishrei, the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar.[1] It is ordained in the Torah as "Zicaron Terua" ("a memorial with the blowing of horns"), in Leviticus 23:24. Rosh Hashanah is the first of the High Holidays or Yamim Noraim ("Days of Awe"), or Asseret Yemei Teshuva (Ten Days of Repentance) which are days specifically set aside to focus on repentance that conclude with the holiday of Yom Kippur. Orthodox and Conservative Judaism generally observe Rosh Hashanah for two days.

    In laymen's terms, Happy 'End of Fasting' and Happy Jewish New Year!

    Anyway yeah...

    To Muslims,
    Eid ul-Fitr Mubārak | Eid Sa'eed


    To Jewish people (Because Jew is often seen as derogatory),
    Shana Tova Umetukah | Ketiva ve-chatima tovah

    So anyway, it's a time for celebration, a time for rest, and a time for interfaith understanding. Muslims aren't terrorists, and Jewish people aren't greedy, nit-picky, stingy misers.

    So, once more, Happy Celebrations! For Jewish People and Muslims.

    P.S. If you haven't already guessed, I'm Muslim.
     
    I'm Christian but to all my Jewish and Muslim brother's and sister's, may God bless them as they practice their rituals well.
     
    How often does Rosh Hashana fall that close to the eve of Eid ul-Fitr? I don't think its a too comon occurance.
