Thursday is Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, which marks the completion of the yearly cycle and the creation of the world, and it renews people, animals, contracts, and almost everything else.
Rosh Hashanah is the first day of the Jewish month Tishrei, which is the seventh month on the traditional calendar. This year, Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of the year 5773 and will be celebrated as such over the course of two days.
For people of the Jewish faith, Rosh Hashanah is very important and marks the beginning of the high holidays.
Once Rosh Hashanah is over, Yom Kippur will begin 10 days later. Yom Kippur is considered the “day of atonement” in which people are judged by God for their sins and God chooses who will live and who will die going into the next year. Just as there are times in the Catholic and Christian faiths to atone for sins, Jews use Yom Kippur as a time to repent and hopefully attain a year of goodness.

Sadly on this happy day Jews have stormed Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.
Witnesses inside the mosque told Al Jazeera on Wednesday that Israeli forces had detained several Palestinian Muslim worshipers inside and were firing tear gas.
Witnesses also reported clashes between a Jewish group and Israeli forces near the mosque after a number of far-right Jews stormed it.
