SPIRITUAL LIFE
Sundown on Wednesday, September 8 th marks the beginning of the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah, the seventh month in the Jewish calendar, and the beginning of the Jewish civil new year. It is also referred to as "the day of the sounding of the shofar," as a shofar, or ram's horn, is blown in the synagogue on this day. This day is reserved for prayer and penitence, commemorating the Creation of the world as written in the Bible. It marks the beginning of the ten Days of Awe, a time for introspection, repentance, and remembrance which culminates in Yom Kippur.
