The Hebrew month of Tishrei falls during the months of September and October. Since the 12-month Jewish calendar follows the lunar year, its months are a few days shorter and thus its holidays vary year to year in the Gregorian calendar.

The month of Tishrei marks the very start of the Jewish year. Tishrei is a month of holidays. Four Jewish holidays are celebrated this month: Jewish New Year, Yom Kippur, Sukkot and Simhat Torah.

ROSH HASHANA

THE MONTH
OF
TISHREI

The month ofTishrei (around September and/or October) is the busiest time of the year for Jewish holidays. In the month ofTishrei, there are a total of 12 days of Yom Tov, 7 of themYomim Tovim on which Melacha (work) is not permitted.
These Yomim Tovim include the days known as the " Yomim Noraim," (High Holy days), the most important holidays of the Jewish year: Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. Four days after Yom Kippur comes the Yom Tov of Sukkot.

SELICHOT

In preparation for Rosh Hashana and Selichot means forgivness. TheSelichot prayers emphasize and arouse G-d's trait of mercy, benevolence and forgivness. At the same time, the prayers encourage us to reflect on our deeds and resolve to improve them.Yom Kippur, we recite special Selichot prayers. The Sephardic custom is to say Selichot throughout the entire month of Elul untilYom Kippur, to commemorate the 40 days that Moshe spent onHar (Mount) Sinai to receive the second Luchot (Tablets of the Law).Ashkenazic communities begin reciting Selichot before Rosh Hashana. According to Rabbi Eliezer (Talmud, TractateRosh Hashana 8a), Adam and Eve were created on Friday, the sixth day of Creation, which wasRosh Hashana. That means that Creation began on Sunday, the 25th day ofElul. Therefore, the Jews of Barcelona adopted the custom of beginning the recitation ofSelichot on that day. The Rabbis also wanted to allow at least four days of Selichot before Rosh Hashana, alluding to the four days that an animal must be checked for blemishes before it is used as an offering. The concept is that we should analyze ourselves before we "present" ourselves beforeHashem on Rosh Hashana. Consequently, when Rosh Hashana falls on a Monday or Tuesday, the recital of Selichot must begin sooner - and it is moved up a week, to the previousMotzei Shabbat.

According to Ashkenazic custom, this year, (2022), Selichot will begin September 17, Motzei Shabbat at midnight.

ROSH
HASHANA

Rosh Hashana, is observed on the first and second day of the month ofTishrei. This year (2022),Rosh Hashana will begin sundown Sunday, September 25, ushering in the New Year 5783.Rosh Hashana is Monday and Tuesday, September 26 and 27.

means, literally, "head of the year" or "first of the year." Rosh Hashana Rosh Hashana is the Jewish New Year (5783). There is, however, very little similarity betweenRosh Hashana, one of the holiest days of the year, and the secular December 31st midnight drinking bash and daytime football game.

The only similarity between the Jewish New Year and the secular one is: Many people use the New Year as a time to make "resolutions." Likewise, the Jewish New Year is a time to begin looking back at the mistakes of the past year and planning the changes to be made in the new year.

The Torah refers to Rosh Hashana as Yom Ha-Zikkaron (the day of remembrance) or Yom Teruah (a day of shofar blowing). The name " Rosh Hashana" is not found in the Torah's discussion of this Yom Tov.

Rosh Hashana is celebrated for two days, not only in Chutz La-Aretz (outside of Israel), but also in Eretz Yisroel. The celebration of this Yom Tov is marked with solemnity, as it is on Rosh Hashana the whole world is judged for the coming year.

Rosh Hashana begins a 10 day period, known as Aseret Ymay Tshuva, (Ten Days of Repentance) or Yomim Nora'im (High Holy days). These ten days that end withYom Kippur, are a time for Tshuva (repentance), Tefilla (prayer) and Tzedaka (charity). Jews have these 10 days to consider the sins of the last year and repent and ask Hashem and our fellow man for forgiveness before Yom Kippur. More about this later.

A great deal of time is spent in the synagogue on Yomim Nora'im, praying to Hashem that our sins be forgiven and that we be inscribed in the "Book" of Life.

For an inspiring story about one of the most stirring prayers of the entire Yomim Noraim, - The Unesaneh Tokef CLICK HERE.

MELACHA
(WORK)
ONROSH
HASHANA

Work is not permitted on Rosh Hashana. The "work" prohibited onRosh Hashana is the same as that prohibited onShabbat, except that cooking, baking, transferring fire and carrying, all of which are forbidden onShabbat, are permitted onRosh Hashana. When Rosh Hashana falls onShabbat, all bets are off, and all Shabbat restrictions must be observed.

ERUV
TAVSHILIN

NOTE: THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS YEAR - ROSH HASHANA 2023:

WhenRosh Hashana falls on Thursday and Friday, in order to be able to cook on Friday forShabbat, anEruv Tavshilin is made.
It is usually forbidden to prepare food onYom Tov for another day, even f3or theShabbat. However, if someone began preparing food forShabbat before Yom Tov, (on Wednesday), it is permitted to continue on Friday (even though it isYom Tov). This is known as 'Eruv Tavshilin,' literally, 'mingling of cooked foods,' since these foods become part of theShabbat food, whose preparation has already begun BEFORE theYom Tov started, and may therefore be continued on Friday.

Some food (a matzah and a cooked food, such as an egg, fish or meat) is prepared on the afternoon before Yom Tov (Wednesday), and set aside to be eaten on Shabbat. When we set this food aside on Wednesday afternoon, we recite the following blessing:

"Blessed are You,Hashem, our God, King of the universe, Who has made us holy with Hismitzvot, and commanded us about the mitzvah ofEruv."

We now explain why we are making anEruv, so we say the following paragraph. Someone who does not understand the text should recite it in English:

"With thisEruv, may we be allowed to bake, to cook, to fry, to insulate, to light a flame, to prepare for, and to do anything needed onYom Tov for the sake of Shabbat [for ourselves and for all the Jews who live in this city]."

THE SHOFAR
(RAM'S HORN)

Theshofar (ram's horn), is blown on Rosh Hashana. It sounds something like a trumpet. However, unlike a trumpet, theshofar has no mouthpiece. One of the most importantMitzvot of this Yom Tov is hearing the 100 sounds coming from theshofar in the synagogue each day of Rosh Hashana.

There are three different types of shofar sounds:
(To HEAR each sound, CLICK on the name of the sound).

Tekiah, a 3 second sustained note;

Shevarim, three 1-second notes rising in tone,

Teruah, a series of short, staccato notes extending over a period of about 3 seconds;

There is also a Tekiah Gedolah (literally, "big Tekiah"), the final blast, which lasts longer than the regularTekiah.
It is very difficult to blow the shofar. A Ba'al tokay-ah, (Shofar blower) may spend many hours practicing beforeRosh Hashana.

The Ba'al tokay-ah should be someone who is respected in the community, a person who is well liked and does good deeds. Another person stands next to theBa'al tokay-ah, and calls out the order of theTekiyot. You are supposed to stand during the Tekiyot, but more important, it is forbidden to talk from the time of the firstBracha (blessing) of the shofar until after the finalshofar blasts at the end of Mussaf.

The Torah gives no specific reason why we blow theshofar on Rosh Hashana. According to the great Jewish scholar, Rambam (Maimondies), we blow theshofar on Rosh Hashana to say, "Wake up! Wake up, everyone who is asleep! Remember your Creator! Instead of going around doing things that are not important or worthwhile, take some time to think about what you can do to make yourself into a better person. Give up doing bad things!"

Rav Saadia Gaon gave many reasons for blowing the shofar, here are some:

1. Rosh Hashana is the birthday of the world.

2. The shofar reminds us ofAkeidat Yitzchak, (the Binding of Isaac) where Abraham sacrificed a ram in the place of his son.

3. At Har (Mount) Sinai, whenHashem gave us the Torah, Bnei Yisroel heard the sound of a shofar. Theshofar reminds us that Hashem gave us laws and rules to obey.

4. The shofar is the call of redemption. Theshofar reminds us thatHashem will redeem the Jewish people.

The shofar is not blown ifRosh Hashana falls on a Shabbat.

SOME
MINHAGIM
(CUSTOMS)
OF
ROSH
HASHANA

Why Apples?

The Talmud tells us that "Simmana Milsa" - "a symbol has significance." We perform symbolic acts as a sign for good, an expression of prayer that the New Year be a good one for us. Here are some of theMinhagim of the Rosh Hashana evening meals.

It is a Minhag (custom) during the New Year season to feature sweet foods as a symbol of our desire for a sweet year.

We also dip Challah in honey at this time of the year for the same reason. The Challah is not braided as usual but instead baked in a circle - a wish that the coming year will roll around smoothly without unhappiness or sorrow.

A popular Minhag during Rosh Hashana is eating apples dipped in honey, a symbol of our wish for a sweet new year. It's a highly recommend practice, it's also yummy.

After saying the Bracha .... Boray pree ha eitz,
we say:
Y'hee ratzon .*.. sheh-tichadesh alainu shana tovah oomtookah. (*Some add Hashem's name)
"May it be your will..*.that you renew for us a good and sweet year."

On Rosh Hashana, we eat from the head of a fish or sheep. Before we eat we recite:
"May it be your will that we be like the head (leaders) and not like the tail (followers)."

Before eating the Pomegrante, we recite:
"May it be your will.....that our merits be increased like (the seeds of) the pomegrante."

Before eating fish, we recite:
"May we be fruitful and multiply like fish."

Before eating carrots, we recite:
"May our merits multiply."
Others recite:
"May it be your will....that our evil sentence be torn before you, and our merits be read out before you."

Before eating dates, we recite:
"May it be your will.....that our foes be consumed."

TASHLICH

Another popularMinhag of Rosh Hashana is Tashlich ("casting off"). It is performed after theMincha prayers, on the afternoon of the first day of Rosh Hashana, (unlessRosh Hashana falls on a Shabbat, then Tashlich is performed on the second day). We walk to a body of flowing water, preferably one containing live fish, say a special prayer, and symbolically empty our pockets into the river, casting off our sins.

The Tashlich service is a Minhag based on the verse from Micah (7:9) "and cast into the depths of the sea all their sins."

"MAY YOU
BE
INSCRIBED
AND SEALED
IN THE BOOK
OF LIFE
FOR A
GOOD YEAR"

Our Sages tell us that once we enter the month of Elul, anytime a person writes a letter to someone, the writer should mention the fact at the beginning of the letter that he wishes and hopes that the person have a good year. Some Sages write that expressing these wishes can be done at the end of the letter as well. The standard blessing is "K'tivah V'chatimah Tovah," literally "A good writing and sealing," meaning that the person should be written, so to speak, in the Book of Life, the Book of Good, and be sealed in that book as well.

The common greeting during this period is L'shanah tovah ("for a good year"). This is short for "L'shanah tovah tikatev v'taihatem" (or to women, "L'shanah tovah tikatevi v'taihatemi"), which means "May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year."
These greetings are used during this period because onRosh Hashana the destiny of all mankind is recorded by Hashem in "Books." In these "Books,"Hashem writes in our names, writing down who will live and who will die, who will have a good life and who will have a bad life, for the next year. Though these "Books" are written in onRosh Hashana, our actions duringAseret Ymay Tshuva, (the Ten Days of Repentance) can alterHashem's decree. The actions that can change the decree areTshuva (repentance), Tefilla (prayer) and Tzedaka (charity).

It is very important to seek reconciliation with people you may have wronged during the course of the year. The Talmud states that Yom Kippur can only atone for sins between man andHashem. To atone for sins against another person, you must first seek to reconcile with that person, righting the wrongs you committed against them if possible.

On Yom Kippur these "Books" are closed and sealed.

TZOM
(THE FAST
OF)GEDALIA

Tzom (the fast of)Gedalia is observed on the day after Rosh Hashana, Wednesday, September 28, 2022, the 3rd day ofTishrei.

Tzom Gedalia commemorates the assassination of Gedalia ben (son of) Achikam, the Jewish governor of Israel, a critical event after the destruction of the first Bait Hamikdash.
After the destruction of the first Bait Hamikdash and the subsequent exile, a small group of Jews remained inEretz Yisroel. Nebuchadnetzar, king of Babylon, appointed Gedalia ben Achikam, a descendant of a prominent family of scribes, to govern Judean Jewry. Acting as a undercover agent of the King of Ammon, Yishmaelben Nesanyah, a member of the royal family, killed Gedalia on the 3rd ofTishrei. This act marked the slaughter of thousands and the end of Jewish settlement inEretz Yisroel. (SeeMelachim II, Chapter 25 and Yirmiyahu, Chapters 40-41)
Tzom Gedalia lasts from dawn to nightfall, and one may eat breakfast if one arises before sunrise for the specific purpose of doing so.

SHABBAT SHUVA

The Shabbat between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur is calledShabbat Shuva (the Shabbat of Return) because theHaftorah which is read on this Shabbat begins with the words Shuva Yisroel, (Repent O' Israel). Others call itShabbat Tshuva (Repentance), as it falls in theAseret Ymay Tshuva, (Ten Days of Repentance). This year (2022)Shabbat Shuva, is October 1.

It is customary for the Rabbi of the Congregation to give a sermon on this Shabbat which includes the basic laws ofYom Kippur and Sukkot, and devoted to the theme of Tshuva and hopefully awaken and inspire people to correct their ways with Tshuva.

Have a happy and healthy New Year!!
