About Rosh Hashana Eve

Rosh Hashana Eve marks the beginning of the Jewish New Year, a time of reflection and prayer. In Israel, it is a significant cultural and religious observance during which families gather for festive meals featuring traditional foods like apples dipped in honey to symbolize a sweet year ahead. The evening signals the start of the High Holy Days, which conclude with Yom Kippur.
