High Holidays |
Introduction
The Jewish High Holidays begin with Rosh Hashana (Jewish New Year) on the first of Tishri and end with Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) on the tenth of Tishri. This period is known as the ten days of repentance and is the most solemn and awe-inspiring days in the Jewish calender.
This period is a time for reflection, to consider our conduct over the past year and to ask forgiveness for any sins or wrong doings we may have committed.
We are commanded in the Torah to observe both Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur as Holy Days, therefore, like Shabbat, no work is permitted.
