Rosh Hashanah, literally meaning the "head [of] the year", is the Jewish New Year. The biblical name for this holiday is Yom Teruah, literally "day of shouting or blasting". It is the first of the Jewish High Holy Days specified by Leviticus 23:23–32 that occur in the early autumn of the Northern Hemisphere.
Observed by: Praying in synagogue, personal reflection, and hearing the shofar
sounding the shofar (Yemini type made from kudu antelope horn)
most used-shofar made from ram's horn
