Ecards are gaining in popularity since they take only moments to compose and send, and you can remember everyone on your holiday card list without spending money on postage. Since Rosh Hashanah is a major holiday, you can find many styles of ecard devoted to it.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Jewish calendar
  • Email addresses of friends and family

    Find an Ecard

  1. Step 1

    Go to one of the many ecard resources online (see Resources below). Most ecard websites will have their offerings broken down into categories, such as Religious Holidays, Birthday Greetings and Get Well.

  2. Step 2

    Browse the selection of Rosh Hashanah ecards. Some ecards are animated, meaning they require certain computer speeds to play. Avoid sending these to anyone with an antiquated computer, since they may not be able to retrieve the ecard.

  3. Step 3

    Avoid sending these to anyone with an antiquated computer, since they may not be able to retrieve the ecard.

  4. Send Your Card

  5. Step 1

    Choose a generic heading such as "Dear Friend" if you will be sending the ecard to more than one person at a time. This is the fastest way to send everyone on your list an ecard you choose. However, if you have the time, you can personalize the ecard greetings or even choose a different card for each recipient.

  6. Step 2

    Enter a check mark in the box that asks if you want to be notified when the sender has opened his greeting. This means you'll have extra mail in your email folder, but it also allows you to know that each person received his card.

  7. Step 3

    Remember that this holiday recognizes Abraham's near-sacrifice of his son, Isaac. It's a good time to remember how dear our loved ones are, and ecards are an easy way to express your fondness for your friends and family without going to a lot of expense. Most Rosh Hashanah ecards allow you to craft a personal message of 50 to 100 words, so make use of this space, if you wish, to create a heartfelt message.

Tips & Warnings
  • Since there are so many styles of ecard, you may choose to send a more frivolous, casual style to friends and coworkers, but choose a more traditional ecard for parents, cantors, older friends and members of the synagogue.
  • Use a Jewish calendar like the one at Hebcal.com to see what date Rosh Hashanah will fall on (see Resources below).
