SUMMARY:Rosh Hashanah
DESCRIPTION:Literally meaning “Head of the Year\,” Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of the Jewish calendar. It begins a 10-day period of repentance and prayer which ends on Yom Kippur. We celebrate the holiday with services and apples dipped in honey to symbolize the hope for a sweet year to come.
