Rosh Hashanah is both a solemn and a festive occasion. The solemnity of Rosh Hashanah is centered in the synagogue, with the blowing of the shofar, with liturgy focused on God’s remembrance and God’s kingship and prayers that invite soul-searching and renewal. The festivity emerges at home, with meals featuring symbolic foods, and in the community with the ceremony of Tashlikh.
