Rosh Hashanah

Beginning at sunset on Monday, September 22 and lasting until nightfall on Wednesday, September 24. Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year and is observed by Jewish people here in Canada and globally. During Rosh Hashanah, Jewish people participate in personal reflection, hearing the shofar (an instrument made from a ram’s horn) and eating traditional food like challah, apple, honey, and pomegranates. Many Jewish people spend a significant portion of the day in prayer and at the synagogue.
