Rosh Hashanah (Messianic New Year)
sunset, September 28-30 2011

The Messianic New Year takes place around September/October, and is considered one of the most important and serious holidays (or the shofar High Holy Days) in the Messianics calendar. As well as being a time for celebration it is also a time for reflection and repentance for sins committed in the previous year. In synagogue, people pray to Adonai to forgive them for their wrongdoings and to give them a good year - during the service a Shofar, or ram's horn, is blown, to alert congregants to the seriousness of the festival and the fact that Adonai is deciding their fates for the coming year - which will be sealed on the Day Of Atonement ten days later. This period is known as The Ten Days Of Repentance and is traditionally a solemn time.

However, Rosh Hashanah is also a time for celebration - other traditions include eating apples dipped in honey in the hope that this will lead to a sweet year.

Why are these High Holy Days called he “Days of Awe?”
Rosh Hashanah is the first of the High Holy Days, and begins a ten-day period of soul searching that concludes ith Yom Kippur. Tradition tells us that on Rosh Hashanah the names of the righteous are inscribed in the Book of Life, guaranteeing another year of life.
For those who are not entirely good, judgment is suspended until Yom Kippur, when our good works and acts of repentance during those 10 days can compensate for the rest of the year.
Worship services give us time to reflect and resolve to do better in the coming year.

What does Rosh Hashanah mean?
Rosh Hashanah (literally “Head of the Year”) is Hebrew or beginning of the year. In the Torah we read, “In the eventh month (Tishri), on the first day of the month, here shall be a sacred assembly, a cessation from work, day of commemoration proclaimed by the sound of the shofar.” (Leviticus 23:23-25)

The Hebrew calendar dates th Jewish New Year according to an ancient Rebbenic undestanding of when the world was created.

What is the way to celebrate Rosh Hashanah at home?
The traditional start of the holidays is at the evening meal; Jewish holidays begin at sunset before the day of the holiday.
Menus vary from house to house, but two customs are widely followed.
We make or buy a round challah with raisins, which symbolizes the never-ending

Why do people wear white on Yom Kippur?
It is customary to wear white on the holiday because Jews are traditionally buried in plain white garments and this reminds us of our mortality. Some wear sneakers or other rubber-soled shoes out of deference to the ancient practice of avoiding leather shoes, which were a symbol of luxury and arrogance.

Why are the confessions said in the plural?
The communal confession is called the Vidui. It contains a litany of human sins. The entire congregation recites it collectively and in the plural emphasizing communal responsibility for sin

Maimonides, in his book Mishneh Torah writes in Hebrew:

כיצד מתודין? אומר: 'אנא ה' חטאתי עויתי פשעתי לפניך ועשיתי כך וכך הרי נחמתי ובושתי במעשי ולעולם איני חוזר לדבר זה' וזהו עיקרו של וידוי וכל המרבה להתוודות ומאריך בענין זה הרי זה משובח

--Mishneh Torah: Hil. Teshuvah Chapter 1, Law 2

Translation:

How does one confess? [He or she] says: 'Please ha-Sheim (Adonai)! I have intentionally sinned, I have sinned out of lust and emotion, and I have sinned unintentionally. I have done [such-and-such] and I regret it, and I am ashamed of my deeds, and I shall never return to such a deed.' That is the essence of confession, and all who are frequent in confessing and take great value in this matter, indeed is praiseworthy.

For an explanation of the three types of sins recognized by Jewish theology, see halacha.

Day of Judgement
In this way, Rosh Hashanah is the Day of Judgement. One of the most prominent themes of the holiday revolves around the symbolic "Book of Life." A persons life depends on whether or not he or she makes the decision to make amends during the High Holiday period through the means of repentance (teshuvah), prayer (tfiloh), and charity (tzedakah). It is a key moment, a time to reflect on past mistakes and resolve in front of Adonai to not repeat them in the coming year. It is also a celebration of man's free will -- making the conscious decision to look inside oneself, to look truly at one's life and make amends. In exercising this choice, which was given to him by Adonai, man makes himself worthy of Adonai's mercy.
