New Year in Israel

Indeed, Israel is a unique country. Probably, in the world there is no state where holy places and ancient attractions are similar. The religion of local residents in Judaism is special. Supporters of this recognition have their holidays, which are sharply different from Christians, which are common to us. This applies to the New Year in Israel. We will talk about when it is mentioned in the country, and get acquainted with the main traditions.
Traditions and New Year in Israel
In our country, Christians, the most magical night a year, occurs from December 31 to January 1. Jews, on the other hand, continue to record the year of the New Year of autumn. This holiday is called Rosh Hashan (Head of Hebrew ”). At the same time, the date of the creation of the New Year in Israel does not exist. Jews celebrate Rosh Hashan in two days (they are called yom-ha-arikht) in the new moon, which falls into the Jewish calendar of autumn Tisro. This time in our chronology-September-October.
This is not to say that Rosh Hassan is happy. The fact is that, according to the traditions of Judas, during the first ten days of the New Year, judges condemn and condemn the sentence. Therefore, believers must remember all their achievements, repent of their sins and trust God's mercy.
Rosh Hashan is noted throughout the country. For believers, a festive dinner is usually going to congratulate each other and give symbolic gifts. If the dear person is not close, congratulatory cards are sent to him. In a Jewish family, traditional dishes of this day can be seen on each table, which always symbolizes something. So, for example, the head of fish or Joe helps with the head. Fish is considered a symbol of fertility, carrots cut in circulation, wealth (gold coin), dough for raisins. And, of course, on this day they eat with honey with a sweet and happy apple, as well as multiple grain to multiply achievement. They do not also serve salt to the festive table.
