Wishing those celebrating the start of the Jewish New Year a year filled with new starts, making amends, peace and love.
In 2026, Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on Friday 11th September and ends at sundown on Sunday 13th September.
“What is Rosh Hashanah? Literally the “head of the year,” is the Jewish new year. It is a time of introspection and atonement. The central theme and practice not only of Rosh Hashanah, but of the entire fall holiday season, is teshuvah — a word commonly translated as “repentance,” but which more literally means “return.” Rosh Hashanah — and the holiday that follows it by ten days, Yom Kippur — are intensely focused on teshuvah. Many Jews see this as a time to make amends or apologize to those they have wronged in the past year and resolve to do better in the year about to begin.” (from myjewishlearning.com)
