What is Rosh Hashanah and how is it celebrated?

Rosh Hashanah, meaning "head of the year" in Hebrew, is the celebration of the Jewish New Year. It’s commemorated with prayers, food and gatherings.

By Danielle Abreu • Published 6 hours ago •Updated 5 hours ago

Rosh Hashanah is a two-day holiday celebrating the Jewish New Year and kicks off the start of the Jewish High Holiday season. Here’s everything you need to know about this important holiday celebrated by people around the world.

The two-day holiday known as Rosh Hashanah kicks off the beginning of the Jewish "High Holidays," a ten-day period of repentance and reflection that culminates with Yom Kippur, also known as the Day of Atonement, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.

But what exactly is Rosh Hashanah and how is it celebrated? Here's everything you need to know:

What is Rosh Hashanah?

Rosh Hashanah, meaning "head of the year" in Hebrew, is the celebration of the Jewish New Year. During Rosh Hashanah, Jewish people around the world ask God for forgiveness for mistakes they’ve made over the past year and remind themselves not to repeat those mistakes in the coming year.

What is Yom Kippur?

Yom Kippur comes on the last of the 10 days of repentance that began with Rosh Hashanah. The day is usually observed with fasting and extended time in deep prayer, before ending with the sounding of a "shofar," a trumpet made from a ram's horn.

When is Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur 2023?

Rosh Hashanah is observed on the first day of the month of Tishrei on the Hebrew calendar, which falls in September or October on the Gregorian calendar, the calendar commonly used throughout the world.

This year in 2023, Rosh Hashanah begins at sunset on Friday, Sept. 15, and ends at sunset on Sunday, Sept. 17. Yom Kippur will begin next week on the evening of Sunday, Sept. 24, and ends the evening of Monday, Sept. 25.

How is Rosh Hashanah celebrated?

Rosh Hashanah observances include special foods, traditions and mitzvahs, or commandments, and celebrations can vary from family to family. Many people attend services at a temple or synagogue, where a special service is held with messages of hope and atonement in the new year.

A hollowed-out ram’s horn, called a shofar, is blown during services to awake any spiritual slumber and remind worshipers to return to God and reflect on their sins.

Another important part of Rosh Hashanah is Tzedakah, or giving back to those in need. The belief is that by carrying out good deeds, God will notice these efforts and bless them with a fruitful new year.

Some Jewish families toss bread crumbs into bodies of water to symbolize the discarding of their sins, a tradition that dates back centuries.

What Do People Eat During Rosh Hashanah?

Fish is a traditional meal at Rosh Hashanah as it symbolizes fertility and abundance. Some people will eat the head of the fish to express the desire to be leaders and not followers in the year.

Many Jewish families also eat challah bread and apples dipped in honey, symbolizing the sweet hopes for the New Year.

Some families will also eat pomegranate fruit as its many seeds represent the many blessings in the coming year.

What Are Rosh Hashanah Greetings?

Because Rosh Hashanah celebrates the Jewish New Year, the most common greeting is "Happy New Year." The equivalent in Hebrew is "Shanah tovah," (pronounced shah-NAH toe-VAH) which literally means "good year."

Shanah tovah is the condensed version of a longer greeting L’shana tovah u’metukah, which means “for a good and sweet year.”

You can also say "chag sameach" (pronounced KHAHG sah-MEY-akh) which means "happy festival," the Hebrew equivalent of Happy Holidays."

It’s far easier to give in to sin than to confess them because most of the time we don’t even see the wrong. As Charles Spurgeon said, “It is easy to commit sin but hard to confess it... Even when sin stares [us] in the face, it still pleads innocence.”

Some sins are so heinous that we may simply be ashamed to talk about them to someone else — but even in these cases, there is hope. As Charles Spurgeon wrote, "There may be some sins of which a man cannot speak, but there is no sin which the blood of Christ cannot wash away."

Psalm 32:5 gives us the best example of how to deal with sin: “I acknowledged my sin to You, And I did not hide my guilt; I said, ‘I will confess my wrongdoings to the Lord’; And You forgave the guilt of my sin.”

Beware of being afraid, or ashamed, of sin. I’ll finish this with the words of a 17-century Puritan, William Gurnall:

If Satan continues to hound you, call in help and do not listen to the devil’s counsel to the contrary. The very strength of some temptations lies in trying to keep them hidden. Telling a trusted, godly friend of your struggles often brings relief. Satan knows this too well, so in order more freely to rifle the soul of its peace and comfort, he frightens it into silence. “Oh, my,” Satan says, “if your friends knew such a thing of you, they would cast you off. You had better hope they never find out!” He has kept many a poor soul in misery by swearing it to secrecy. You lose two blessings by keeping the devil’s secret – the counsel of your fellow brethren, and their prayers. And what a serious loss this is!

What Repentance Truly Means

Jesus began His ministry by preaching “Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (Matt. 4:17) This is verified by Mark’s gospel account in Mark 1:14-15. What should be obvious is how important the concept of repentance is to the good news Jesus Christ preached. The word repent was translated from the Greek word metanoeo which means to think differently or afterwards; I.e. reconsider…

UNDERSTANDING OUR INHERITANCE

Revelation 19:14 - "And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses."

In this passage a wonderful picture is painted of the armies of Heaven following Christ into battle. These armies have been washed in the Blood of the lamb. These are the souls of the departed saints that are going to return with Christ when He invades this world and destroys the armies of darkness.

The Lord in this hour is about to send His fire upon the Church. Those that are not ready may not be prepared for this fire, but it is going to consume the darkness from their lives. They are going to be touched in the core of their beings and they will rise as Knights in White Linen. They will conquer darkness in the name of the King.

YOU ARE A CONQUEROR!

You are royalty in Christ. You are undefeatable in Christ. There is nothing that can conquer you as you seek to advance His Kingdom. You are more than a conqueror. You are an overcomer who will overcome every trial and difficulty that comes against you.

In the quest to discover God's purpose for your life everyone goes through difficulty. Everyone has something that they are facing which they must endure and overcome. Whatever the problem, you have Christ as the answer -- He has already overcome everything that seems to be a problem in your life -- you only need a revelation of what His blood has really purchased for you.

As He has already forgiven all of your sins, you are NOW prepared to understand and progress in your Christ calling. It is not that you do anything to make yourself worthy. Jesus did it all on the Cross.

WALKING IN THE SPIRIT

Your job is to stand and respond to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. There is no condemnation (Romans 8:2) you are now ready to launch into His purpose for your life and begin fruit bearing that remains for His Kingdom.

And then in Hebrews 9:14, "How much more will the Blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God."

And again in Ephesians 5:26-27, "...that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the Word, so that He might present the Church to Himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish."

You are a part of this army of God that is rising. You are a Knight in White Linen. The work of Jesus on the Cross is sufficient and there is nothing that can prevent you from advancing His Kingdom – He has cleansed you and set you free as you move from glory to glory in your Christ calling.

Hi, I would like to post a poem I wrote yesterday (23rd April 2023).

The power of forgiveness

We need to be kind and compassionate to one another

Just like Jesus Christ taught us when He was on the earth

Don't let yourself seek the revenge and sin because of anger

When the enemy of yours makes fun of you again

When it gets tough and it's hard to forgive

Remember the Word of God that Jesus revealed

For if you forgive other people when they sin against you

Your heavenly Father will also forgive you

Bear with each other and forgive one

Another if any of you has a grievance against someone

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins

And to cleanse us from all unrighteousness

He will forgive us our wickedness and forget our sins

If we truly repent and start loving others and praying for our enemies

For if they sin against you seven times

You should forgive them and let it go seventy-seven times

For if you forgive other people when they sin against you

Your heavenly Father will also forgive you

Bear with each other and forgive one

Another if any of you has a grievance against someone

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins

And to cleanse us from all unrighteousness

Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you

Pray for those who mistreat you and remember what Jesus said on the cross

”Father, forgive them for they know not what they do”

It also was written ”You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done”

For if you forgive other people when they sin against you

Your heavenly Father will also forgive you

Bear with each other and forgive one

Another if any of you has a grievance against someone

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins

And to cleanse us from all unrighteousness

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Bible verses I used in this poem:

”You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” (Genesis 50:20)

”And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34)

”But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.” (Luke 6:27-28)

“For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” (Matthew 6:14)

"Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, 'Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?' Jesus answered, 'I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.” (Matthew 18:21-22)

“For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.” (Hebrews 8:12)

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”. (1 John 1:9)

”Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” (Colossians 3:13)

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you” (Matthew 5:43–44).

voices by house of heroes

an analysis

(i’m sure these things have been noticed before but i was thinking hard about this song in the car earlier and wanted to rant about it so here, have a rant)

thinking about the lyrics to this song and specifically the second verse, the lines that go

“in a graceless world i was graceless / i’m just a murderer cuz murder was my only chance / though I’m wretched i am not faithless / the ears of God hear everything / and He hears them still / every cry (every breath), every lamb that i’ve slain / just to save myself / how can God show mercy? I was merciless to them”

and how it starts off as a confession: “in a graceless world I was graceless”

he was unwilling to forgive, unwilling to budge on the rules and ideas that drove him to commit the atrocities that haunt him

“I’m just a murderer cuz murder was my only chance”

he had to learn that it was kill or be killed, and he decided that he wanted to live. he wanted to survive, even though to do so meant to kill innocents in the name of the game.

“though i’m wretched I am not faithless”

and this line, oh, this line -- it’s hopeful, even for just an instant. he believes, he hopes, he desperately throws his faith out towards a God that maybe, maybe could forgive him --

“the ears of God hear everything”

but he knows that God has heard. God has heard every kill, every sin he has committed, and how could God forget the things he has done?

“and he hears them still / every cry (every breath), every lamb that i’ve slain”

the idea of a lamb connotes innocence, purity -- he has killed those who did not deserve it, those who had done nothing, and he knows it. he knew it when he slew them, and yet.

he also knows that God is a God of outcasts. a protector of the innocent. an advocate for the downcast, downtrodden, the afraid. and he knows that a perfect God, an eternal God, would be able to continue to recall in perfect detail the things he’s done to others, to those innocents, the ones that he should have been fighting to protect.

“just to save myself”

he knows that the things he did were done out of purely selfish motives; he understands that a selfless, moral God cannot abide with such reasoning, but still he longs, he hopes for that forgiveness, for that idea that his faith is not misplaced despite his sins, the thought that God is a God of forgiveness and grace in a world that refuses to show any to anyone.

also!! the parallel here!! between the “lambs” slain by the narrator as a means of survival and the perfect Lamb that was slain for the sins of the world. the juxtoposition drawn by the idea of his lambs being slain out of a selfish desire for self-preservation, a raw, human urge, and the idea of the Lamb of God giving Himself up willingly for the sins of others, for sins He hadn’t ever even committed, is just ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, it’s Good Stuff.

the idea of the lambs being slain also calls to mind the Old Testament idea of animal sacrifices as a means of absolving the sins of the people who were doing the sacrificing -- which, of course, was a setup for the New Testament idea of Jesus’ sacrifice -- and the imagery of the narrator’s desperate, desperate attempt to absolve himself of his sins by sacrificing “lambs” on the altar of his own disobedience. he’s realizing how futile this is now, how much he needs the forgiveness of his God, since he cannot create it for himself.

“how can God show mercy? i was merciless to them”

as he realizes that his own shoddy, half-formed forgiveness is a lost cause, he also starts to realize just how far he has fallen in his attempts to absolve himself. he knows that even a forgiving God has to punish sin, that the things he has done should and have pulled him far away from the faith he claimed to hold.

but then, then we get the part at the end. the part where he starts speaking, where he’s preaching to us as the listeners but also to himself, as the narrator desperately searching to find the forgiveness he’s already been granted:

“your greatest sin is not the abortion that you’ve asked forgiveness for, or the adultery or whatever it is that you did in your life, in a past that you’re ashamed of, that keeps haunting you.

your greatest sin is not believing God’s word when God says you’re forgiven.

your greatest sin is unbelief.

you wanna repend of something, friend?

stop repenting of sins that you’ve already repented of, and repent of your unbelief!”

Once for All

Hebrews 10.1-18 What more is there to say? Jesus paid it all. His once for all sacrifice…willingly giving Himself, perfect obedience to the Father…wiped out sin for all time. Every single one. For those who believe. And because of that, the enemy can no longer hold our sin against us. Guilt and shame need no longer be a weapon we allow him to use to beat us down. That’s not a free pass to sin…
