Rosh Hashanah

Sound the shofar! Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is a time to celebrate. In 2020, the sacred holiday starts at sundown September 18 and marks the time when, according to Jewish traditions, God created the universe. It’s also the start of High Holy Days, which end September 28 with Yom Kippur. For many, it’s not Rosh Hashanah until they hear those shofar blasts during morning prayer services (in case you’re wondering, the shofar is an instrument made from a ram’s horn). For others, the holiday isn’t complete without a big family gathering to reflect on the important things in life, count their blessings, and wish for a peaceful year ahead.

For the food lovers, the Jewish holiday means enjoying plenty of deliciousness to symbolize the wish for a fruitful and sweet year—apples dipped in honey, honey cake and fluffy raisin challah are just a few favorites. The holiday means so many different things to so many people, and we like to think we have everybody covered. Whether you want to send simple and sweet Rosh Hashanah greetings to your family, the kids in your life, or a heartfelt religious message, Hallmark has cards for you.
