WHAT TO EXPECT
Celebrate the sweetness of coming together in community as we welcome the new year with joyful services, rich with music and meaningful prayer to help you recalibrate for the year ahead. Unless otherwise noted, all services will be offered both in person and online.
IMPORTANT RITUALS
Tashlich: The act of tashlich (“casting off”) allows us to leave behind the habits, missteps, and regrets of the past year. Learn more about our tashlich rituals here.
What to Eat: Jews around the world enjoy different ritual foods in honor of Rosh Hashanah. Some of the customary foods include apples dipped into honey to commemorate the sweetness of the New Year. Other traditional foods to eat include a round challah, to symbolize the unending cycle of life and pomegranates, whose seeds symbolize the number of mitzvot (good deeds/actions) we are called upon to perform in the coming year.
