A Little History – The Meaning of Rosh Hashanah

Rosh Hashanah is observed on the 1st and 2nd of Tishrei and is considered the Day of Judgment in Jewish tradition – a day when a person is judged for the past year and their destiny for the coming year is determined.

The central mitzvah (commandment) is blowing the shofar, as stated in the Torah:
“It shall be a day of sounding the shofar for you.”

Additionally, it is customary to eat symbolic foods that represent blessings for the new year:
