What it celebrates
Rosh Hashanah begins the Jewish year on 1 Tishrei and opens the ten days of reflection leading to Yom Kippur. It invites reflection and renewed relationships. Many communities celebrate two days; some Reform communities observe one.
What to expect
The shofar is a horn whose sound calls people to reflection; traditionally it is not sounded on Shabbat. Apples with honey, round challah and other symbolic foods appear at the table, depending on family traditions.
Finding your way in
You can begin with a meal or part of a service. Ask the community about registration, times, accessibility and translated prayer books. Before bringing food, check your hosts’ kashrut requirements. Holidays begin at sunset the evening before; check the dates in the calendar.
