The festival that celebrates the Jewish New Year is Rosh Hashanah. It usually occurs in September or October, marking the beginning of the Jewish High Holy Days. Rosh Hashanah is observed for two days, during which families gather for festive meals, prayers, and reflection. Traditional foods, such as apples dipped in honey, symbolize the hope for a sweet new year. One of the central rituals is the sounding of the shofar, a ram's horn, which serves as a spiritual call to repentance. It is a time for personal introspection and communal renewal.
