I took copious notes. Here's what's what on some of the major days. Rosh Hashanah Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year. On Rosh Hashanah eve, Jewish people greet each other with a special greeting, Leshanah Tovah Tikatevu. He jots down whether or not each person has led a good life during the year.
Every Jewish year begins with the ten most important days of the year.
The 10 days begin on Rosh Hashanah, the first day of the year. The tenth and final day is Yom Kippur. This is a solemn, but not sad, day. It is a day of atonement and a day of fasting. Adults are not supposed to eat anything from sundown the evening before Yom Kippur to sundown a day later.
