Seeing how nobody chimed in, I'll be the Judaic expert.

Being that its in another language, and doesn't use the Roman Alphabet, you can pretty much spell it however you want. . . same goes for Channukah.

It's kinda like writing the English version of Cantonese or Mandarin words/names.

So, spell on my gents, spell on.

La Shana Tova! (Happy New Year)

Eric,

It gets confusing. The newspaper in Phoenix spells is Hashana. Ditto for the Internet listing in Phoenix:

[size="-0"]Rosh Hashana Services
Find Jewish High Holiday Services
Nationwide. No Membership Required!

Phoenix, AZ

But, most others seem to spell it Hashanah. So, I get confused. :?
