Rosh Hashanah, the 'head of the year,' invites Jewish communities to gather in reflection and renewal, emphasizing introspection and setting intentions for the coming year.
During Rosh Hashanah, families enjoy festive meals with symbolic foods like apples and honey, representing the hope for a sweet year, and round challah symbolizes life’s continuity.
A key tradition of Rosh Hashanah is blowing the shofar, which serves as a wake-up call for spiritual reflection and personal improvement in the new year.
The custom of tashlich involves casting away sins by throwing bread crumbs into water, illustrating a meaningful act of repentance and opportunity for fresh beginnings in the new year.
