Shana Tova | Rosh Hashanah
Our Wish for a Sweet New Year
This is a beautiful time of the year for Jewish people; a new beginning. It is also solemn time of the year; a religious time. The ten days starting with Rosh Hashanah and ending with Yom Kippur are commonly known as the Days of Awe. This is a time for introspection, a time to consider the sins of the previous year and repent before Yom Kippur.
Among the customs of these holidays, is to seek reconciliation with people you may have wronged during the course of the year. Another custom is to dip apples in honey to symbolize the wish for a sweet New Year.
