A significant Jewish holiday is approaching, marking the start of a period of reflection. Jewish people use this time to ask for forgiveness and reflect on past mistakes. The holiday period lasts for 10 days and ends with a day of fasting and prayer.
This period of repentance is important in the Jewish calendar, culminating in a holiest day. Further details about the holiday and its customs are available.
The holiday is a celebration of the new year and a time for people to think about their actions over the past year.
