What is Rosh Hashanah?
Rosh Hashanah, also known as the Jewish New Year, is a significant festival in the Jewish calendar. It marks the beginning of the High Holy Days, a ten-day period of repentance and reflection, culminating in Yom Kippur.
At Reno Remnant Church, we honor and celebrate Rosh Hashanah as a time of renewal, where we come together as a community to reflect on the past year and set intentions for the year ahead.
The Significance of Rosh Hashanah
Rosh Hashanah holds great spiritual and cultural importance for Jewish individuals around the world. It is a time of introspection, prayer, and seeking forgiveness. The blowing of the shofar is a central ritual during this holiday, symbolizing a wake-up call to examine one's actions and commit to personal growth.
During Rosh Hashanah, we focus on the concepts of teshuvah (repentance), tefillah (prayer), and tzedakah (charitable giving). These practices guide our faith and belief systems, helping us lead a more meaningful and purposeful life.
