Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year, when Jews prayerfully reflect on the past year and look hopefully into a promising future. The central observance of this two-day holiday beginning on September 20 is the sounding of the shofar, the ram's horn, signifying the coronation of the king, and calling people into a time of apologizing and healing relationships.Greetings for the first night are “Leshanah tovah tikatev vetichatem” and for females, “Leshanah tovah tikatevee vetichatemee” meaning “May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year.” At other times, with them a “Gemar chatimah tovah” meaning “A good inscription and sealing in the Book of Life."
