Rosh Hashanah begins the evening of the 25th and continues to the evening of 27th.

Rosh Hashanah, literally meaning “head of the year”, is the Jewish New Year. It is a time of inner renewal and divine atonement.

It is customary to have big feasts on both nights of Rosh Hashanah and there are lots of customary dishes, including: honey cake, brisket, tzimmes and more Rosh Hashanah recipes

One of the common practices of Rosh Hashanah is attending the High Holy Day services, where the shofar can be heard.

Many people go to a Tashlich service where they throw bread crumbs into a naturally running body of water as a means of casting away their sins. On the second night of Rosh Hashanah it is customary to eat a new fruit, a symbol of newness.
