The Jewish New Year for 2023 is Rosh Hashanah. It begins at sunset on Friday, September 15, 2023, and continues through sundown on Sunday, September 17, 2023. Rosh Hashanah is the first of the High Holidays or Yamim Noraim ("Days of Awe"), celebrated ten days before Yom Kippur. It is observed on the first two days of Tishrei, the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar. Rosh Hashanah marks the creation of the world and is a time of judgment and coronation. It is often treated as a time to reflect on the previous year and focus on hopes for the coming year. Many Jewish people attend services at synagogues and other spaces for worship on Rosh Hashanah.
