High Holidays
The High Holidays are a significant period in Judaism, primarily consisting of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, occurring in the early fall. Rosh Hashanah marks the Jewish New Year, a time for reflection, introspection, and spiritual renewal. Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, focuses on repentance, seeking forgiveness for sins, and making amends. These holidays are observed through prayer, fasting, and communal gatherings, emphasizing self-evaluation, ethical improvement, and renewal of one's relationship with God and others. They serve as a spiritual checkpoint, encouraging followers to start anew with a pure heart.
