Rosh Hashanah occurs on the first and second day of Tishri. In Hebrew, Rosh Hashanah means "head of the year." Rosh Hashanah is commonly known as the Jewish New Year. There is one important similarity between the Jewish New Year and the American one -- many Americans use the New Year as a time to plan a better life, making "resolutions."
Likewise, the Jewish New Year is a time to begin introspection, looking back at the mistakes of the past year and planning the changes to make in a new year.
One of the most important observances of this holiday is hearing the sounding of the shofar in the synagogue. A total of 100 notes are sounded each day. The blowing of the shofar symbolizes three different expressions of the human spirit and denotes faith.
The shofar goes back to the time when Abraham was ready to sacrifice his only son Isaac at G-d's behest. At the last moment the Almighty ordered Abraham to substitute a ram to test and educate him. A popular practice of the holiday is Tashlich (casting off). We walk to flowing water, such as a creek or river, on the afternoon of the first day and empty our pockets into the river, symbolically casting off our sins.
Tashlich
