Rosh Hashanah (Jewish)
Multifaith and Cultural
One of the most widely observed holidays in the Jewish calendar, Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year, marking the beginning of the High Holy Days and a period of introspection and renewal. This is a time for prayer, reflection, and the sounding of the shofar (a ram's horn). Central themes include repentance, the assessment of one's deeds, and the hope for a sweet and successful year ahead. Traditions include festive meals, as well as communal worship. Rosh Hashanah is both a solemn and joyous occasion, inviting individuals to reconnect with their faith, values, and community.
Accommodations: This is a holiday or custom that may be observed by some members of the Hornet Family. Please note the general practices and common accommodations to ensure that your courses, activities, and events are inclusive and respectful of the multitude of religious and cultural customs observed by our campus community.
Event Type: Cultural. Celebration.

Observances include attending synagogue services for the duration of the day. Yom Kippur concludes with an evening service and the sounding of the shofar, symbolizing the end of the fast and a renewed commitment to ethical living.
