Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year. It is celebrated every year for "a
good and sweet new year!” The purpose to celebrate this day is to greeting one another
with the words “shana
tovah u'metukah”.
This festival celebrates two days
from 24th September to 26th September. On Rosh
Hashanah day, tables fill with
different kinds of foods especially with sweet that reflects an appetite
for happy, prosperous days to come.
The celebration begins on the day
of Tishrei. The celebration occurred on the day, for the anniversary of the
creation of Adam and Eve, the first man and woman, and their first actions
toward the realization of humanity's role in God's world.
On this day celebrated customs
include sounding the Shofar and
eating apples dipped with honey to evoke a "sweet new year". This also
symbolized that the sweetness will come in the coming year.
Revel Casino adjourned a
bankruptcy auction in advance of Rosh Hashanah, but now the auction will resume
next Tuesday.
On the day, the sound of Shofar
is use to give alerts and awaken people from their "slumbers".
