Jewish New Year
Apples and honey
Jewish New Year is a translation of the Hebrew *Rosh Hashanah*, the holiday marking the beginning of the Jewish calendar year.
It falls in September or October and begins a ten-day period of repentance culminating in Yom Kippur: We're having the family over for Jewish New Year.
The term appears mainly in contexts where the Hebrew name needs clarification.
