Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on Friday 11th and ends on nightfall on Sunday 13th, marking the start of the Hebrew year 5787.

The Holiday traditions are:

Many will blow the shofar during the daytime services to sound a spiritual wakening.

Many will eat sweet foods including round challah, apples dipped in honey, and pomegranates to symbolise a good and sweet new year.

Many will refrain from regular work.

Rosh Hashanah initiates the Ten Days of Repentance, leading directly into Yom Kippur.
