This week, the Jewish community is ushering in the celebration of its 5785th New Year called Rosh Hashanah. A direct translation of “Year of the Head,” it marks the beginning of the New Year according to the Jewish calendar. This is the time when people review their deeds for the past year and vow to make changes within themselves for the coming year. It remains a time for self-reflection as well as peace of mind.
In 2024, Rosh Hashanah begins with evening services on October 2 and extends through the night of October 4. It was then that the universe and mankind were supposedly created, but more importantly, it was the time when Jews asked for forgiveness and proceeded full of vigor and energy.
It is believed that Rosh Hashanah is the day which God (Elohim) made the world. On this day, birth of mankind is also celebrated, and because of that reason, Jewish calendar marks years from this day. The earliest evidence comes from 200 AD, showing that this is an old religious tradition.
The ritual of Rosh Hashanah is not only religious but it also gives a peek into the very social and cultural aspect of Jewish life. On this day people turn towards introspection and self-purification. It also happens to be a day of special prayers and oneness within the society. At the same time it also stands for the beginning of the 10 days called “Days of Aveh” and ends on Yom Kippur, which is “Day of Atonement”.
Rosh Hashanah is a part of Jewish faith and culture. It is a festival of rebuilding the soul, setting new goals, and giving a new direction to life. In this carnival of families, food, prayer, and self-reflection, Jews seek forgiveness from their God and promise to tread a positive pathway for the next year.
