Happy 5786! Wishing all a sweet new year from Multi-Media Works, LLC
Rosh Hashanah is the start of the Jewish New Year (AM 5786), a time for reflection and repentance. The High Holy Days begin with the sound of a shofar (ram's horn). Blowing it in four sounds symbolizes a spiritual wake-up call of the Jewish people. Eating apples dipped in honey symbolizes a sweet new year and the greeting, "Shanah Tovah" (a good year).
Rosh Hashanah also marks the start of the Days of Awe, a 10-day period of self-examination leading up to Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, when judgments are sealed for the new year and the shofar is blown one last time.
