Rosh Hashanah is a Jewish Holiday commonly known as the Jewish New Year.
It begins at sundown tonight, September 24 and is celebrated through Friday, September 26 . It marks the beginning of the Ten Days of Repentance, which finish at the end of Yom Kippur, Saturday, October 4 at sunset.
Generally, Rosh Hashanah is a time of renewal, a time for admitting our mistakes and asking for forgiveness. It is a time of self-examination, new resolutions, and earnest efforts at correcting our faults.
With this in mind, the Jewish holidays are a holiday that everyone can relate to and reminds us that we all share a common past, present and future and we can reflect on how we can make all of our lives happier and more productive.
