Wishing the same back to you, Jack.

Re: Monday26 is the first day of Rosh Hashana,

The pre-meal kiddush, blessing, on Festivals like the coming New Year, replaces bread with a sprinkling of  salt by bread and apple with honey.

The prayer for the Royal Family said during every Morning service on Sabbaths (Saturday) and on festivals has of course been revised; it will seem strange to be saying "..our Sovereign Lord, King Charles,..." instead of "...Our Sovereign Lady, Queen Elizabeth.." as in the last many decades.

I actually had the honour to be introduced to the Duke of Edinburgh at a function at St. James Palace, a few years back, to celebrate 350 years since Cromwell let the Jews back into England.  He worked my side of the room, while the Queen worked the other. I could see just when she started talking to the first person in line there, her face lit up with such a smile that the staunchest republican would be instantly won over. (Perhaps)
