Rosh Hashanah 2020 date: When is Rosh Hashanah?

When greeting a female, this is modified to “Leshana tovah tikatevee v’tichatemee”

The phrase means “may you be written and sealed for a good year”.

Another traditional greeting for both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is a Yiddish greeting, “Gut yontif,” which means “Wishing you a good holiday.”

Rosh Hashanah is celebrated in many ways, including prayers at the synagogue and the blowing of the “shofar”, a ram’s horn trumpet.
