Rosh Hashanah, which translates to "head of the year," marks the start of the Jewish High Holy Days. It is a time of both joy and solemnity, filled with festive meals, prayer, and introspection. The holiday spans two days, commencing on the first day of Tishrei, the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar.
Key Observances
