Each year, 163 days after Passover, the Jewish community celebrates Rosh Hashanah, which marks the beginning of the High Holy Days leading up to Yom Kippur.
The two-day celebration began this year at sundown on Sunday, and will continue through Tuesday night.
The phrase means “head of the year." But the holiday actually takes place in the seventh month of the Jewish calendar although the months don't exactly line up to a traditional Gregorian calendar, but the seventh month usually takes place in September and October.
