Today is Rosh Hashanah, The Jewish New Year celebrated from sundown on September 16th to nightfall on September 18th. Rosh Hashanah is the beginning of the Jewish High Holy Days, or Yamim Noraim (the “Days of Awe”), and is followed 10 days later by Yom Kippur, the “day of atonement.” The Jewish culture traditionally celebrates the new year by first acknowledging the past years transgressions and then eliminating any bitterness by eating raisin challah, honey cake and pomegranate, and dipping apples in honey.
