Rosh Hashanah, commonly known as the Jewish New Year, starts at sunset tonight and continues until nightfall on Sunday.Popular observances during this holiday include: (1) eating apples dipped in honey, to symbolize the wish for a sweet new year; and (2) walking to flowing water, such as a creek or river, on the afternoon of the first day and emptying one's pockets into the river - a ritual "casting off" of sins.
L'shanah tovah.
