How is Rosh Hashanah celebrate today?
Just about every synagogue in the world has both an evening and a morning service on Rosh Hashanah (although in this age of COVID-19, many liberal synagogues will use Zoom.) The liturgy for Rosh Hashanah has special melodies that are only used on this day, and the morning service is greatly expanded with penetential prayers and, most notably, a section where the shofar, a ram's horn trumpet, is blown repeatedly in a scripted series of stuttering, broken and long blasts. If you count the total number of toots it is at least 100. Rosh Hashanah is a feast day, so a festive evening meal is the norm, as well as a festive kiddush lunch after the morning service. The challah (bread) served at the meals is traditionally round instead of being a long braid, and the meals traditionally include sweets to symbolize a sweet new year. Apples and honey, honey cake and similar foods are symbolic. On the afternoon of Rosh Hashanah, it is traditional to go down to the riverbank or seaside and empty your pockets -- symbolically emptying them of sin, but in reality, throwing bread crumbs on the water.
