Evening of October 2–4
Greeting: L’Shana Tova U’Metoka (“le-shahna tow-VAH oo-meh-TOH-kah”) or to a good and sweet new year
Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, signifies the day on which God completed the creation of the world. Rosh Hashanah denotes the start of the Days of Awe, which are the 10 days from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur. These days are used for introspection and reflection on the mistakes of the past year and the changes to make for the coming year. Traditions include:
- Dipping apples in honey in anticipation of a sweet new year.
- A total of 100 notes are sounded on each day from the shofar, or ram’s horn. The sound serves as a “wake-up call” to begin the process of intense introspection.
