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.

What are the Jewish rules of Rosh Hashanah?
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 during services 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 (See Talmud, Keritut 6a).See also the Related Links.Link: The shofarLink: Rosh Hashanah foodsLink: The Jewish holidays

What occurs during the rosh hashanah in the Jewish holidays?
The evening service on Rosh Hashanah is relatively brief, shorter than the typical Sabbath service, so that people can get home to a festive evening meal. The morning liturgy is long, services starting at 8:30 AM frequently last until 12:30 PM. The service starts like a normal Sabbath service, but the Musaf section at the end is hugely expanded and features repeated blasts on the shofar (ram's horn trumpet). In the afternoon, it is traditional to go to a river or lake and "cast your bread upon the waters" in a brief ritual called tashlich. Is the bread symbolic of sins being cast away? There is debate. Perhaps the participants are contemplating casting away sins and also (but incidentally) casting bread.
