Rosh Hashanah FAQs

When is Rosh Hashanah 2026?

Rosh Hashanah 2026 (5787) begins at sundown on Friday, September 11, and ends at nightfall on Sunday, September 13. It is observed for two days in the diaspora. Because the first day falls on Shabbat, the shofar is first sounded on the second day, Sunday, September 13.

What do you eat on Rosh Hashanah?

Rosh Hashanah has many symbolic foods (simanim): apples and honey (sweet new year), round challah, pomegranate (filled with merits), fish or ram's head (to be at the head), dates, leeks, beets, and more. Sweet foods like honey cake and tzimmes are traditional.
