Join us to hear the Sound of the Shofar...

Yom Teruah, also known as Rosh Hashanah, is a two-day celebration that begins on the first day of Tishri, the seventh month of the Jewish religious calendar.

In contrast to the religious Biblical calendar, where the first month, Nisan, the Passover month, marks Israel’s exodus from Egypt, Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of the civil year. A major theme of Yom Teruah is that God is the Creator and the Sovereign of the Universe.

Rosh Hashanah customs include sounding the shofar (a hollowed-out ram’s horn), as prescribed in the Torah, following the Hebrew Bible's prescription to “raise a noise” on Yom Teruah. Its rabbinical customs include attending synagogue services and reciting special liturgy about teshuva, as well as enjoying festive meals. Eating symbolic foods is now a tradition, such as apples dipped in honey, in the hope of evoking a sweet new year.

Attendance at our Yom Teruah or Rosh Hashanah Services is open to anyone and free of charge.
