Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year, marking the beginning of the High Holy Days. It usually falls in September or October and lasts for two days. This holiday is a time for reflection, prayer, and the sounding of the shofar, a ram's horn, which serves as a spiritual wake-up call for the new year. During Rosh Hashanah, families gather for festive meals that often include symbolic foods, such as apples dipped in honey, representing the hope for a sweet year ahead. It is also a time for self-examination and making resolutions for personal growth in the coming year.
