Rosh Hashana in Australia

Rosh Hashanah is the fall celebration commending the begin of the Jewish New Year.

Rosh Hashanah happens on the first and second days of Tishri. In Hebrew, the expression Rosh Hashanah truly signifies "leader of the year" and in this manner the occasion is generally known as the Jewish New Year.

This name is to a degree beguiling to those unaffiliated with Jewish hones, in any case, as there is little similitude between Rosh Hashanah, one of the holiest days in the Jewish year, and the Western, common understanding of New Years.

There is, then again, one critical closeness between the Jewish New Year and the common one: numerous individuals utilize New Years as a period to make "determination" and plan to lead a finer life. In like manner, the Jewish New Year is a period to start reflection, thinking over at the mix-ups of the previous year and arranging the progressions to make in the new year.

This time of thoughtfulness does not end at the finish of Rosh Hashanah however actualy extends for ten days, referred to usually as the Days of Awe, until Yom Kippur.
