Rosh Hashana is a Hebrew term that means 'Head of the Year.' The term is used to refer to the Jewish New Year celebration that marks the beginning of the ten-day period known as the Days of Awe. During this period, Jews reflect on their past deeds and seek to atone for any transgressions they may have committed. There are several other terms used as synonyms for Rosh Hashana, including Yom Teruah or the Day of Shouting, Yom HaZikaron, or the Day of Remembrance, and Yom HaDin, or the Day of Judgment. These terms reflect the different aspects of the holiday and what it means for Jews around the world.
