About the holiday

The year turns on the first of Tishrei, the anniversary the tradition gives to the creation of the world. It opens the Ten Days of Repentance that end at Yom Kippur, and the shofar, a ram’s horn, is sounded a hundred times to mark the beginning. The mood is not a party but a stocktaking: sweet food for the year ahead, and an honest look at the one behind.
