A deeper look into the meanings and customs of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year: From crowning G-d as our king to blowing the Shofar and dipping apple into honey.
The Talmud teaches that on Rosh Hashanah, G-d asks His people to sound the Shofar in order to make Him their King, and to “remind” Him of their meritorious past.
On the first day of Rosh Hashanah we go to a body of water to recite the tashlich prayer, where we beseech G-d for mercy, atonement and a good new year.
