Rosh Hashanah 2026 Begins September 11 with Traditional Celebrations

Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, will commence at sundown on Friday, September 11, 2026, and conclude at sundown on Sunday, September 13, 2026. The holiday marks a period of reflection, forgiveness, and hope, observed with synagogue services, festive meals, the sounding of the shofar, and customs such as dipping apples in honey.

Manischewitz, a leading producer of kosher foods, is promoting a "Back to Basics" campaign for the holiday. Marketing manager Talia Sabag highlighted the brand’s focus on timeless recipes and introduced a new product, the Heat‑&‑Serve Sweet Carrot Tzimmes, described as a melt‑in‑the‑mouth version of the traditional carrot and dried‑fruit dish that symbolizes abundance and prosperity for the coming year.
