The calendar says fall, almost, but for the Jewish faith it's just about time for the New Year. Rosh Hashanah starts Wednesday evening at sundown. It means "head of the year." The two-day holiday commemorates the creation of the world and celebrates the relationship between god and his creations through festive song, prayer, and various rituals, like ram horn blowing, to announce this important day. Food plays a major role as well, especially the sweeter kind.
The high holy period ends ten days later with Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement.
