Happy Jewish New Year
Rosh Hashanah
Rosh Hashanah
Wishing all of our Jewish Friends around the World a very Happy New Year Rosh Hashanah. Shana Tova!
On Sunday night, Sept. 16, 2012, Jews will begin celebrating one of their most important religious holidays, Rosh Hashanah. It remembers the creation of the world. In Hebrew, Rosh Hashanah means the “head of the year.” It is also called the Feast of the Trumpets. The blowing of a ram’s horn, a shofar, proclaims Rosh Hashanah, and summons Jews to religious services.
Jews used the ram’s horn as a trumpet in Biblical times to announce the new moon, holidays, and war. Today, a variety of horns are used, including curved antelope horns.
