Yamim Noraim

Yamim Noraim, or the High Holidays, are a sacred period in Judaism that includes Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement). Celebrated in early fall, these days emphasize introspection, repentance, and renewal. Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of the Jewish year, encouraging reflection on one's actions and commitments. Yom Kippur, ten days later, is dedicated to seeking forgiveness and spiritual cleansing. Together, these holidays foster self-examination, reconciliation with others, and renewed commitment to ethical living, serving as a profound time for personal and communal renewal.
