Rosh Hashanah

Rosh Hashanah is the first day of the Jewish New Year. Rather than a time of over-the-top fanfare and festivities, Rosh Hashanah is a somewhat more spiritual affair in which people of the Jewish faith pray for forgiveness and deliverance. But it’s not all prayer and penance. Rosh Hashanah is celebrated in the company of family and friends, over special meals and traditional sweets.
