Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year, when Jews believe God decides what will happen in the year ahead. The synagogue services for this festival emphasize God's kingship and include the blowing of the shofar, a ram's horn trumpet.

This is also time for judgment from God's. Jews believe God balances a person's good deeds over the last year against their bad deeds and decides their fate accordingly.

The 10 days beginning with Rosh Hashanah are known as the Days of Awe, during which Jews are expected to find all the people they have hurt during the previous year and apologies to them. They have until Yom Kippur to do this.
