'''Rosh Hashanah''' is a holiday marking the beginning of the [[Jewish]] new year. The holiday is celebrated in a solemn manner beginning at sunset the night before. In the Hebrew calendar, the first day of each year is called "Tishri". Traditionally Rosh Hashanah lasted for two days, but Reform Jews now typically celebrate it for only one day.

Special dishes are usually prepared in served on the first night of Rosh Hashanah, often using honey to represent the request to [[God]] for sweetness in the coming year.

Jews don’t traditionally wish each other “happy new year”. Instead we say the Hebrew phrase “shanah tovah” which — in spite of the mistaken translation that appears on almost all greeting cards — has no connection at all to the expression “have a happy new year.”
As 'Shanah tovah conveys the hope for a good year rather than a happy one. And the reason for that distinction contains great significance.'
