Rosh Hashanah is one of Judaism's holiest days and begins at sunset on Wednesday. The two-day celebration marks the start of the Jewish New Year and is filled with traditions, like eating a round challah and saying prayers near a body of water.

The holiday par excellence of repentance and introspection, Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish equivalent of January 1. This year, it began at dusk October 2 and ends October 4, ushering in the richest month of Jewish holidays.
