Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and are the most important holidays in the Jewish tradition, often called the High Holy Days. They are celebrated in September or October of each year, based on the Jewish calendar. Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year, which is a two-day celebration signified by renewed growth and the sowing of the harvest. This holiday is celebrated by a traditional Rosh Hashanah Seder. It is preceded by a month of self-examination, which culminates in Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement, on which another holiday Seder is held. Here are just a few books with traditional Jewish delicacies.
