What Rosh Hashanah Means

The Hebrew name translates as "head of the year." It falls on the first two days of Tishrei and marks, in tradition, the creation of humanity — which is why it is sometimes called the birthday of the world. It is also known as Yom Teruah, the day of sounding, after the shofar blasts that anchor the morning service.

The festival opens the Ten Days of Repentance, closing with Yom Kippur ten days later. That arc — reflection, then atonement, then the joy of Sukkot — gives the season its shape. At the table, the food carries the message: apples dipped in honey for a sweet year, round challah for the year coming full circle, pomegranate for abundance. These symbolic foods are known collectively as the simanim.
