The Jewish New Year begins at sundown on Sunday, September 16th and commemorates the anniversary of the creation of the world. Rosh Hashanah literally means "head of the year." It is celebrated on the first and second days of the month of Tishri and is considered a day of putting away the curses of the previous year and embracing the blessings of the new one. The shofar is trumpeted. The old things are dead, and a horizon of fresh life gleams ahead.
