Rosh Hashanah is approaching, and Jewish people around the world will gather with friends and family to start a sweet new year.   Rosh Hashanah represents the beginning of the Jewish New Year, translating from Hebrew to mean the “head” of the year. It’s commemorated with special prayers, foods, gatherings and more. "These are moments where we come together as a community, where we take time to think about ourselves as individuals, but also think about the ways that we can help others," Rabbi Rob Gleisser, the Peter J. Rubinstein reform senior Jewish educator at Penn State Hillel, told USA TODAY. Click the link in our bio to learn more about the Jewish holiday.
