Summit-Questa wishes all our Jewish families a Happy New Year! Yesterday, on September 6th, at sundown the new year began, and it will end at sundown on September 8th. The biblical name for this holiday is Yom Teruah, literally “day of shouting or blasting”. It is the first of the Jewish High Holy Days specified by Leviticus 23:23–32 that occur in the early autumn of the Northern Hemisphere. (Wikipedia). There are many traditions associated with Rosh Hashanah, including the following:
Attending synagogue and spending time with family and friends.
Reflecting on the year before and repenting for any wrongdoings and then reflecting on the year ahead to start afresh.
Wear white and new clothes, symbolizing purity.
There is the sound of the ram’s horn (shofar) on both mornings.
