Rosh Hashanah | Shaw JCC of Akron
What is Rosh Hashanah?
Rosh Hashanah, also known as the Jewish New Year, is a significant holiday in the Jewish tradition. It is a time of reflection, repentance, and celebration. Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of the High Holy Days, which culminate in Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
Significance of Rosh Hashanah
Rosh Hashanah holds great importance for Jewish individuals and communities around the world. It is a time for introspection, self-improvement, and renewal of faith. During this period, Jewish people take the opportunity to evaluate their actions over the past year, seek forgiveness for any wrongdoings, and make resolutions for the upcoming year.
