For our Jewish friends and Noahides, at sundown tonight the Jewish New Year begins.

Some information on the holiday for you all.


Jewish communities across Greater Manchester will be celebrating the high holidays throughout this month, starting with Rosh Hashanah this week.

The Jewish new year will begin on the evening of Wednesday, October 2. The festival is followed by fast days, including Yom Kippur which starts on October 11, and further festivities throughout the Jewish month of Tishrei.

Families and friends come together to celebrate at this time of year, and many congregate in synagogues to hear the blowing of the shofar – a musical horn. Certain foods are also traditionally consumed to mark the occasion.

The shofar isn't a 'musical horn'. It's made from a ram's horn and is used to call an assembly or sound an alarm.
