In the Divine Will movement we often say in Latin Fiat voluntas tua (May your Will be done) which in Hebrew is 'yehi ratzon'. There is also a meal at Rosh haShana called Yehi Ratzones that is done by Sephardi Jews in which they eat certain foods as symbols and say "Yehi ratzon".

One Jewish website states in an article by Ty Alhadeff states: 

"At the beginning of the holiday dinner, Sephardic Jews from the lands of the former Ottoman Empire have a special custom called the yehi ratzones, a series of symbolic appetizers including not only apples, but also dates, leeks, spinach, squash, black-eyed peas, and cheek meat of a cow or a fish head (the foods may differ between communities and be prepared in any number of ways).

Did the Jewish Sanhedrin have 70, 72 or 73 members? The original Sanhedrin had 70 elders plus Aaron and Moses. Thus at first the Sanhedrin had 72 members with 70 elders and the High Priest and the Chief Scribe (Levite). Later the Judge or the Prophet who was the leader of Israel was added and the number became 73, which in the time of the monarchy the Judge or Prophet was replaced by the King.

About Me
About Me
I am a Hebrew Catholic or Catholic Jew. I adhere totally with the infallible teachings on faith and morals of the Catholic Church and I believe that Pope Francis is the Messiah's chief representative on earth. I do not write to proselytize religious Jews but to share my ideas with my fellow Catholic Jews and also with Gentile Catholics who are interested in the Jewish roots of the Catholic faith. These are my personal thoughts and do not represent those of any group I may belong to.
