Shana Tova to my Jewish friends. Happy New Year!
No, it is not New Year's Eve. This is the Jewish celebration of the New Year. And it leads up to Yom Kippur. Rosh Hashanah will begin this evening and ends on the evening of September 8th.
The two day celebration is the traditional anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve. Customs include sounding the shofar(a cleaned-out ram's horn), as well as attending synagogue services and reciting special liturgy about teshuva(repentance). Eating symbolic foods is also a part of the tradition. Such as apples dipped in honey, hoping to have a sweet new year.
May this be a blessed year for you and your family!
