Rosh Hashanah is a Jewish Holiday that begins at sundown this week on Wednesday, September 20, 2017. Happy Adventures enjoys learning and sharing information. In this article, we are going to share the significance of this holiday.
Rosh Hashanah, also known as Yom Teruah (Day of Shofar Blowing), means “Head of the Year.” Just like the head controls the body, our actions on Rosh Hashanah have a huge impact on the rest of the year. It is a day of prayer and meditation, a time to ask the Almighty to grant us a year of peace, prosperity, and blessing.
The central observance of Rosh Hashanah is the sounding of the shofar, the ram’s horn, on both days of the holiday (except if the first day is Shabbat, in which case we blow the shofar only on the second day).
The blowing of the shofar symbolizes the trumpet blast that is sounded at a king’s coronation. Its cry also serves as a call to repentance (which means to stop missing the mark).
What are your plans for the new year? It is never too early to set an action plan for your goals. It is also a great time to reflect on the lessons you learned in 2017 so 2018 can be the year for growth and development. It is time to answer our calling. The time to do it is NOW!
