What is Rosh Hashana?
The Jewish New Year. Two days of prayer, the shofar, and apples dipped in honey.
Type: Festival from the Torah. What it means for the day: On the festival days (yom tov) work is not done, as on Shabbat, though cooking for the festival is allowed. The middle days (chol hamoed) are partly working days.
Why the date moves
Rosh Hashana always falls on the same Hebrew date (1 Tishrei – 2 Tishrei). The Hebrew calendar follows the moon and adds a month seven times every 19 years, so the civil date moves within a window of about a month from year to year.
Israel and outside Israel
The date is the same in Israel and everywhere else.
