It is a very solemn moment and an enlightening celebration. The celebration of Rosh Hashanah is a time to reflect on the appreciation of the creation of the universe, creatures and even humanity. The Jewish people personally analyze individual flaws and this is when we reflect on the positive and negative aspects of the year. Preparing for self-improvement is the main idea of ​​this holiday because Jews want to be forgiven so that they can live happily and confidently. The Jewish holiday, Rosh Hashanah, is celebrated in the month of Tishre. On the first day of Tishre, people ask to blow the Shofar. The Shofar, better known as the ram's horn, is a symbolic piece used at the start of all national events. For example, the events on Mount Sinai, at the start of a war or on the eve of the coming of peace. Rosh Hashanah is the prelude to the holy day of Yom Kippur. The difference between the two is that Rosh Hashanah is a time when all creatures of the world over a period of ten days stand before the Creator and are judged by Him, which is why we truly embrace this time of year. Every person is judged and no one escapes this specific fate. The culmination of this celebration is Yom Kippur. Jewish tradition understands that there is nothing to hide from the eyes of the Almighty and that he sees everything.

We have a structure that allows people to do to God what they want done to them. By giving back through your words and actions, the holidays can be a very gracious and godly time for individuals to reflect and try to become a better person. These holidays allow for spiritual growth which is one of the most vital aspects of the Jewish religion.
