Rosh Hashanah 2010 will start on the sundown of September 8, which is the seventh month in the Jewish calendar, and continue for 2 days till the nightfall on September 10th this year. It is a Jewish holiday, meaning the ‘beginning of the year’ or most commonly referred to as the “Jewish New Year “.

Rosh Hashanah extends over the first 2 days of the Hebrew month of Tishrei. This holiday is characterized by the blowing of the shofar, a trumpet made from a ram’s horn. During the afternoon of the first day occurs the practice of tashikh, the symbolic casting away of sins by throwing either stones or bread crumbs into the water. Rosh Hashanah meals often include apples and honey, to symbolize a ” sweet new year “.

This is a very busy day for florists, as people send flowers to their families to celebrate the beginning of a new year.
