Rosh Hashana - Jewish New Year
Rosh Hashana this year takes place on 13th and 14th September. Rosh Hashanah means 'Head of the Year' and marks the first and second days of the Jewish New Year. According to rabbinic tradition, the world was created on the first day of the Hebrew month of Tishri, and in a number of the prayers God is proclaimed as the creator and king of the universe. The New Year is a time for Jewish people to think and reflect. It iss a time when they try to clarify what their priorities in life are, and to reflect on what has been achieved in the past year. It is a time for some serious thought about life and a chance to ask questions about actions throughout the year. People consider questions such as the following:-: What's the most meaningful thing in my life? Who in my life means the most to me? How often do I let them know this? What are the most significant things I've achieved in the past year? What do I hope to achieve next year and in my life generally? The festival is also known as the Day of the Sounding of the Shofar, the Day of Judgement and the Day of Remembrance.
