How do the festivals of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur bring the Jewish community together?

The festivals of Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah both bring the Jewish community together because you do everything together throughout these two festivals. Examples of this are like going to Shul for longer than usual and spending more time doing Tefillah(praying) to God. You also try to be as nice as possible to people because you know that God is judging you so you want to be seen as good. One of the Mitzvot that I didn't mention above is Tzedaka which is giving to charity and this is something that you can do collectively by all doing a fundraising event for a chosen charity. These festivals are good because they help us to interact with each other as we normally wouldn't and it comes only once a year so we like to make the most of it. This can also be a time when the Jewish community come together because you give each other advice and want to spend time together and talk about the things you have done and give each other advice or comfort each other if you feel bad about something you have done.

In the time of Jesus what festivals were celebrated?
I presume that this is a question about the Jewish festivals and not, perhaps, the Greek and Roman festivals or, farther afield, Druid and Hindu festivals. The three great Jewish festivals were then and are now Pesach (Passover), Shavuot (Pentecost, or the Feast of Weeks) and Succot (the Feast of Booths). Each of these is mandated in the festival calendars in the Torah, and on these festivals, when the Temple still stood in Jerusalem, all Jews were supposed to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. We also know that Hanukkah was celebrated. It is even mentioned in the New Testament as the Feast of Dedication. That one is a post-biblical holiday instituted less than 200 years before Jesus. Note that Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur were also celebrated, but neither is technically a festival.
