Rosh HaShana

Rosh HaShana is a time when Jews reflect on their actions and try to make amends with each other and God. The shofar is sounded, and eating apples and honey is an expression of hope for a new year pure, happy, and free from past transgressions.

Yom Kippur

Yom Kippur is often considered the holiest day of the Jewish year. This day of fasting, prayer, and introspection begins with Kol Nidre, a prayer that asks for absolution from vows, and ends with the Neilah prayer. In between is a liturgy that runs the emotional gamut, from the solemn to the celebratory.
