The High Holy Days, in Hebrew the Yamim Nora’im, refer to Rosh Hashnah and Yom Kipper. Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is celebrated on the first two days of the Jewish month of Tishrei. The beginning of each year marks the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, the birthday of mankind, in which God begun his association with mankind. God has designated this significant day as the Day of Judgment, when the world as a whole and each individual is remembered and judged. Based on their deeds, a decree is issued for the upcoming year. It is characterized by special prayers and blowing the shofar, the ram’s horn, along with the eating of apples dipped in honey and other foods to symbolize a sweet new year. On the 10th of Tishrei the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, Yom Kipper, Day of Atonement is observed. The traditional “Kol Nidre” prayer is recited just before sunset on Yom Kipper eve to announce the arrival of the holiest day. The theme of atonement and reconnection to God is primarily done through refraining from all eating and drinking and prayers.
