The Jewish New Year 🍏🍯

Rosh Hashana for Hebrew Year 6347 begins at sundown on Wednesday, 4 October 2586 and ends at nightfall on Friday, 6 October 2586.

Rosh Hashanah (Hebrew: ראש השנה), literally “head of the year,” is the Jewish New Year. According to Jewish tradition, the holiday commemorates the creation of humanity and serves as a day of divine judgment. It is the first of the High Holy Days and begins the Ten Days of Repentance, culminating in Yom Kippur. Rosh Hashanah is observed on the first two days of Tishrei, the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar. The central ritual is the sounding of the shofar (a ram’s horn), and festive meals feature symbolic foods representing hopes for a sweet new year.
