About Rosh Hashana

Rosh Hashana is the celebration of the Jewish New Year, observed by Jewish communities throughout the United Kingdom. This religious festival emphasizes prayer, self-reflection, and repentance as the High Holy Days begin. Traditional customs involve the sounding of the shofar, attending religious services, and enjoying meals with apples and honey to symbolize hope for the coming year.
