The celebration lasts for two days . In Hebrew, Rosh Hashanah means the "head of the year." It is also called the "Feast of the Trumpets." According to customs, Jews celebrate Rosh Hashanah by blowing a ram's horn, a "shofar," and eating symbolic foods such as apples dipped in honey. • In addition, Rosh Hashanah is also observed as a judgment day as Jews believe that God compares the good deeds of a person with his or her bad deeds in the year and based on that, He decides how the next year will turn out to be.
