What Is Rosh Hashanah and When Is It Celebrated in 2023?
Rosh Hashanah is a Jewish holiday that marks the beginning of the Jewish New Year. The term “Rosh Hashanah” translates to “head of the year” in Hebrew.
It is one of the holiest days in Judaism, observed on the first two days of Tishrei, the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar. This typically falls in September or October of the Gregorian calendar.
Rosh Hashanah is associated with several significant religious rituals and traditions. One of the most well-known is the blowing of the shofar, a ram’s horn, which serves as a call to repentance and a reminder of God’s sovereignty.
Other customs include eating symbolic foods such as apples dipped in honey, which signify the desire for a sweet new year, and casting off sins into a body of water, a ritual known as Tashlich.
The holiday also marks the start of the Ten Days of Repentance, a period of introspection and repentance that culminates in Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, which is considered the holiest day of the Jewish year.
During Rosh Hashanah, it is believed that God inscribes each person’s fate for the coming year into the “Book of Life,” which is then sealed on Yom Kippur.
What Is a Traditional Rosh Hashanah Gift?
A traditional Rosh Hashanah gift often includes items that symbolize a sweet new year. This can include honey, apples, or sweets. Gift baskets with these items, along with other traditional Jewish foods like challah bread or pomegranates, are also common.
Other potential gifts might be related to the holiday’s customs and traditions, such as a new shofar (a ram’s horn used in religious ceremonies), a kiddush cup for blessing the wine, or a machzor (a special prayer book used for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur). It’s also not uncommon to give charitable donations in someone’s name as a gift for Rosh Hashanah.
