Discussion points
- ‘Rosh Hashanah’ means ‘Beginning of the Year’.
- The Torah instructs it in the book of Leviticus (chapter 23, verses 23-32).
- It happens on the first day of Tishri.
- Even though Tishri is the seventh month in the calendar, the first of Tishri is regarded as the start of the year as it marks the traditional anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve.
- The preceding month, Elul, is a month of self-preparation for the year to come.
- The shofar (trumpet made from a ram’s horn) is blown to awaken people to coming judgement.
