Happy Rosh Hashanah

 

We celebrate Rosh Hashanah, which marks a New Year and the start of the High Holidays with our friends and neighbors.

Happy Rosh Hashanah

We wish our Jewish brothers and sisters Shana Tova and hope the millions observing this sacred day in America and around the world have a blessed start to the High Holy Days.

Happy Rosh Hashana

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.
