Rosh Hashana – the Jewish New Year - in Israel

Rosh Hashana is the Jewish New Year. Rosh Hashana is the day when people are judged on their deeds, the day on which G-d decides whether he will be “written into the Book of Life” or not. It is customary on this festival to blow a ram’s horn (Shofar) and of course the symbols of the festival differ between the various ethnic groups. One symbol which is shared by everyone is the apple and honey and the familiar blessing which blesses us with a good and sweet year. Every year Rosh Hashana is celebrated in Israel and what could be sweeter than celebrating Rosh Hashana in Israel, to enjoy the pampering hotels and start the year with good food and great service.

Rosh Hashana is celebrated over two days, which is different from the rest of the Jewish festivals which are only celebrated for one day. When Rosh Hashana falls on Wednesday night you will have the two days of Rosh Hashana followed by the weekend, Friday and Saturday.

If you choose to celebrate the festivals in Israel, you will discover an atmosphere like no other in the world – hotels in Israel surpass themselves.  Apart from the traditional festive meal if you choose to celebrate Rosh Hashana in Israel you will be able to visit one of the synagogues or the hotel synagogue. Festivals in Israel are celebrated within the family: there are two options – to be a host or to be hosted. So why not be hosted in one of Israel’s many splendid hotels. 

We recommend that you celebrate Rosh Hashana in Israel. All you have to do is choose a hotel and enjoy the good food, the pampering rooms and of course no cleaning and preparation – just a festive atmosphere with all the family.
