Rosh Hashanna
(Jewish)

The Jewish New Year comes each fall at the beginning of the month of Tishri, in accordance with Judaism's lunar calendar. Rites of atonement and blessings for the year ahead are part of the solemn occasion which begins a ten-day period known as Yamim Nora'im (the Days of Awe). At the end of this period, Jews believe that their God has decided who will live and prosper, and who will die, in the year to come.
