Jewish people do not work on Rosh Hashanah, and those who are more devout will spend a lot of time at the synagogue
The date of Rosh Hashanah varies annually, and individuals observe the holiday for varying durations, depending on their level of devotion.
It might seem strange that the holiday is at the start of the seventh month of the calendar, rather than the first. That is because in the Torah Rosh Hashanah actually marks when God is said to have created the world, rather than the new calendar year.Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of the Days of Awe, a 10-day period of introspection and repentance that ends with Yom Kippur, which is also known as the Day of Atonement.
Those that God allows to live have their names written in the Book of Life, while others are condemned to death. Those God is not certain about have the 10 days after Rosh Hashanah to repent their sins.How is it celebrated?
