The High Holidays
The two-day holiday of Rosh Hashana is the head of the Jewish year, the time when G‑d reinvests Himself in creation as we crown Him king of the universe through prayer, shofar blasts, and celebration.
We celebrate Rosh Hashana by listening to the Shofar, eating apples dipped in honey and praying for a sweet new year.
A week later, the High Holidays reach their crescendo with Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement). Like angels, we neither eat nor drink for 25 hours. Dressed in white, we pray in the synagogue—united as one people, children of One Father.
