Rosh HaShanah Service

Rosh HaShanah

Join us for a Great Rosh HaShanah Service!

Rosh Hashanah is the start of a ten-day period of introspection, prayer, reflection, and forgiveness—culminating with the Yom Kippur fast.

As always, there is symbolism in much of what we do.
On Rosh Hashanah, we will eat apples and honey; apple slices dipped in honey represent our desire for a sweet year ahead.

We eat Challah, baked into braids, and shaped into round loaves to symbolize the circular nature of our interweaving lives, reminding us that we are all connected to each other in many ways.

The Torah says the first day of the seventh month—which begins at sunset—shall be “a sacred occasion,” a “day of rest and remembrance, commemorated with loud blasts.”
