Rabbi Edward Boraz of Springhill Avenue Temple said that “Rosh Hashanah is a time for gathering and solemn reflection It is a time for gathering and solemn reflection in which we ask for forgiveness, from God and from one another, for past wrongs, with the renewed hope of improving ourselves and a commitment to make the world a better place for all of humankind.”Įight days after Rosh Hashanah the next Jewish High Holiday of Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement commences. Rabbi Goldwasser said, “We are commanded to celebrate it as a holy and festive day and to blow the Shofar to signify our acceptance of G-d as King.” Traditionally, Rosh Hashanah begins with the blowing of the Shofar, a horn made from a ram’s horn, on both mornings of the holiday, unless the holiday falls on Shabbat.
