Rosh Hashanah celebration
Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish holiday, is celebrated in honor of the creation of the world. It symbolizes the beginning of the new year and the conclusion of the passing year. This year, Rosh Hashanah will be celebrated from September 15th to September 17th.
During the European New Year, Hasidic pilgrims gather in Uman, as the city is home to the tomb of the Tzadik Nachman.
Several restrictions are to be imposed in Uman during Rosh Hashanah. This includes a ban on the sale of alcohol, fireworks, firecrackers, and toys that imitate weapons.
