Jewish Holidays 2024 Rosh Hashanah. Rosh hashanah, literally the “head of the year” is the jewish new year. It is a time of inner renewal and divine atonement.
We review our actions during the past year, and we look. Rosh hashanah is observed on the first two days of the jewish new year, tishrei 1 and 2, beginning at sundown on the eve of tishrei 1.
