Rosh Hashanah

Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is a time of reflection and new beginnings. It falls on the first two days of Tishrei, usually in September or October. It’s not about loud parties or confetti cannons. Nope. Instead, it’s a time for introspection, prayer and spiritual renewal. The sound of the shofar, a ram’s horn, is a pivotal part of it, symbolising a call to repentance. 

Today is deeply significant in Jewish communities, with a big focus on family, tradition, and hope for a sweet new year – often symbolised by apples dipped in honey! It’s also seen as the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, highlighting themes of creation and humanity’s connection to the divine. Rosh Hashanah is not just a religious event but a cultural touchstone that connects the past with the present and holds profound personal and communal meaning.
