When is Rosh Hashanah 2022? | The Sun

ROSH Hashana, known as Jewish New Year, is an important date in believers' calendars.

The two-day observance is filled with special foods and activities and brings the Jewish community together.

What is Rosh Hashanah?

Rosh Hashanah translates as “the head of the year” in Hebrew and it is the period when Jews observe the end of one year and the beginning of the next.

It is thought by Jews to be the day that God created Adam and Eve, and serves as a time to celebrate the creation of the universe.

Although the festival is a chance to enjoy time spent with friends and family, it is also a time for reflection, and begins 10 days of repentance for sins committed in the previous year.

Customs include sounding a hollowed-out ram’s horn known as a shofar after reading from the Torah – the Jewish religious text. Around 100 blasts can often be heard throughout the New Year at the synagogue, symbolising a call for repentance.

Jews will consume symbolic foods such as apples or cakes dipped in honey, which are supposed to represent having a “sweet new year”.
