The most appropriate greeting would be: "Shana Tovah" (literally meaning "a good year"), which is the equivalent to: "Happy new year".
Just wishing a Jewish friend "Happy New Year" in English (or your native language) is more than appropriate and would be appreciated.

the common short greeting is "shanah tovah," where "shanah" means year and "tova" means good. So, you can translate it as "a good year" or expand it to "have a good year." A slightly more formal greeting is "L'shanah tovah tikatevu" where the prefix "L" means to, as in "to a good year" and "tikatevu" is based on the root "ketuv" meaning write. The "ti" prefix turns it into something of a future tense, and the "u" ending makes it third-person-plural, that is, done to you, as it were. So you can translate the greeting as "to a good year may you be written." Written where? In the Book of Life. Written by who? By God. So you could expand it to mean "may God write your name in the Book of Life."
