Rosh HaShanah, meaning "Head of the Year," is the Jewish New Year and marks the start of the High Holy Days. Celebrated over two days in the month of Tishrei, it is a time for reflection, renewal, and setting intentions for the coming year.

The central symbol of the holiday is the shofar, a ram’s horn, blown during services to inspire introspection. Traditions include prayers and festive meals, with foods like apples dipped in honey to wish for a sweet new year.

Both solemn and joyful, Rosh HaShanah encourages a deeper connection to faith, community, and personal growth.
