Rosh Hashanah (literally, "Head of the Year") in Jewish tradition commemorates the creation of the world and marks the beginning of the Days of Awe, a 10-day period of introspection and repentance culminating in Yom Kippur - the Day of Atonement.
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are the two “High Holy Days”, with Rosh Hashannah often being celenrated by eating apples and honey (for a sweet year ahead) and the blowing of the Shofar (ram's horn).
