Rosh Hashanah

Rosh Hashanah is the beginning or “head” of the Jewish New Year.  This Holy Day is celebrated as the anniversary of the creation of the world.  Rosh Hashanah inaugurates the sacred Ten Days of Repentance which culminates in Yom Kippur ten days later.  The New Year is cause for both celebration and solemnity. 

We fete our lives and G-d’s precious universe while at the same time asking ourselves serious questions about who we have become in the past year and have we wisely used our precious allotment of time. Together Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are known as the Days of Awe or the High Holy Days.
