What do jews do during Rosh Hashanah?

Answer 1

On Rosh Hashanah, Jews eat foods whose names or characteristics connote a blessing; for example, pomegranates are eaten so that they should be as full of mitzvot as a pomegranate is of seeds.

Answer:

Rosh Hashanah is the first two days of the month of Tishrei, and is the Jewish New Year. Our traditions state that at that time the world is judged for the coming year (Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 16a); and we read the Torah and say prayers which ask for a good year and which declare God's kingship over the world. The shofar (ram's horn) is blown (Leviticus 23:24; Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 33b-34a), symbolically heralding God's kingship, and calling to mind the covenant of Isaac (see Genesis ch.22). Festive meals are held in the home, and traditional foods (such as the well-known apple dipped in honey) are eaten to symbolize a sweet year.

Answer 2

As Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year nears, you may want to reflect on your life and your year. How do you spend your days? Do you live the life you desire? Are you happy, fulfilled, and content? Do you experience inner peace?

Are your days filled with greatness? Are you in touch with your true purpose? Do you know what you want? Do you spend your time doing the things you love? Are you being true to yourself? Are you being the person you want to be? Kabbalist Rav Berg says that consciousness is key. Kabbalists say every action matters.

I believe in what our spiritual teachers tell us that our thoughts reflect and create our reality. Where is your mind from moment to moment? Are you dwelling on what is not right? Are you judging others and yourself? Are you crying over spilt milk? Are you focusing on what is not? This creates darkness when what we really want is light.

If you had to stop for a moment and reflect on the happiest times of your life - What would those be? If you chose say three different instances, or times where you felt truly happy, perhaps the happiest times of your life, what were they? Please STOP reading for a minute and think about these happiest times or days of your life and write them down. Write down at least three different examples. Please do this exercise now before continuing.
