About Rosh Hashanah
Rosh Hashanah 2026 begins at sundown on Friday, September 11th, and ends at nightfall on Sunday, September 13th. It marks the Jewish New Year and the start of the High Holy Days.
History & Significance
Rosh Hashanah, meaning 'Head of the Year,' marks the beginning of the Jewish year. It is a time for reflection, repentance, and renewal. The sounding of the shofar (ram's horn) is the central ritual, calling the community to self-examination during the ten Days of Awe leading to Yom Kippur.
