"Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur — celebrate the Jewish high holidays
By the CBC Kids team

A table laid out with candles, a shofar, pomegranates and honey.

L'shanah tovah (say "le- sha-NAH to-VAH").

That's how you would say "Happy New Year" to someone who is observing the Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

What are these holidays?

While it's a celebration of the new year, Rosh Hashanah is quite different from the holiday that takes place on December 31st.

Rosh Hashanah
Jewish people start to celebrate the new year on a holiday called Rosh Hashanah. It is one of the most important religious holidays in Judaism.

This year's holiday begins at sunset on September 25th and ends the evening of September 27th.

Yom Kippur
When Rosh Hashanah ends, they observe the end of the new year period with Yom Kippur (say "yom kee-poor").

This year's holiday begins at sunset on October 4th and ends the following evening.

Yom Kippur is a time when Jews around the world reflect on the past year and look for ways to make up for things they may have done wrong. They also think of ways to be more kind and helpful to others.

Sounding the shofar

Throughout the holiday period of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, Jewish people look forward to the sound of the shofar (say "show-far").

This horn, which is made from the horn of an animal like a goat or sheep, is considered one of the most important symbols of the holiday.

The shofar is a special horn that is traditionally sounded in the synagogue to signal the start of the new year. As a custom, 100 notes are sounded in a special rhythm. On Yom Kippur, the shofar blower ends the day with a long loud blast. This sound brings the holiday to an end."


I guess the month of Elul is the last month in the Jew Calendar ?
