Rosh Hashanah, literally meaning “head of the year,” is the Jewish New Year, celebrated on the first and second days of Tishrei. It marks the beginning of the High Holy Days, a ten-day period of introspection and repentance culminating in Yom Kippur.
During Rosh Hashanah, Jewish communities engage in prayer, personal reflection, and the sounding of the shofar, a ram’s horn, which symbolizes a call to repentance.
