More about Rosh Hashanah + Yom Kippur
Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year, often celebrated with symbolic traditions like apples dipped in honey for a sweet year ahead, the sound of the shofar (ram’s horn), and family meals. Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement that comes ten days later, is a quieter, more reflective holiday focused on saying sorry, making things right, and beginning again with care and intention.
