Rosh Hashanah, meaning "head of the year" or "first of the year," begins on Friday, September 18 and ends on the evening of Sunday, September 20, 2020 this year.
The festival begins on the first day of Tishrei, the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar, which falls during September or October.
Rosh Hashanah commemorates the creation of the world. It marks the beginning of the Days of Awe, a 10-day period of introspection and repentance that culminates in the Yom Kippur holiday, also known as the Day of Atonement.
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are the two "High Holy Days" in the Jewish religion.
