Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year festival, held on the first (also sometimes the second) day of Tishri (in September). It is marked by the blowing of the shofar, and begins the ten days of penitence culminating in Yom Kippur. This year’s festival begins in the evening of Sunday, October 2 and ends in the evening of Tuesday, October 4.

Grace and peace to my Jewish friends who are celebrating. I wish you grace, peace and love during this time.
