September 21 holds special significance in the Hebrew calendar as it marks the beginning of the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah, also known as the Jewish New Year. Rosh Hashanah is a time of reflection, repentance, and renewal for the Jewish community, during which they seek forgiveness for their sins and look forward to a fresh start in the coming year.
Rosh Hashanah is observed on the first and second days of the Hebrew month of Tishrei, which usually falls in September or October on the Gregorian calendar. The holiday is characterized by a number of traditions, including the blowing of the shofar (a ram’s horn), the eating of symbolic foods such as apples dipped in honey, and the recitation of special prayers.
