Rosh Hashanah 2024 is rapidly approaching! Also known as the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on Thursday, October 2, 2024, or on the Hebrew date of 1 Tishrei. Rosh Hashanah 2024 will mark the beginning of the Hebrew year of 5784.
The Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah involves a lot of food, family, and prayer services at synagogue. Each community has its own customs and norms, but a universal aspect of celebrating the Jewish New Year is having a festive dinner complete with the foods that are traditionally associated with Rosh Hashanah, like pomegranates, apples and honey, fish, figs, dates, and more.
