Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday wished Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Jewish community across the world and the people of Israel on Rosh Hashanah — the Jewish New Year.
In a post on microblogging site X, he said, "Shana Tova! Warmest Rosh Hashanah greetings to my friend Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the people of Israel and the Jewish community worldwide. Wishing everyone a new year filled with peace, hope and good health.”
What is Rosh Hashanah?
Rosh Hashanah — a two-day festival celebrated in the early fall — is celebrated as the Jewish New Year.
It commemorates the creation of the world and serves as a time for prayer, self-reflection, and repentance.
Key Rosh Hashanah traditions include sounding the shofar (ram's horn), eating symbolic foods like apples and honey for a sweet year, and attending synagogue for special services.
The day marks the beginning of the Days of Awe, a 10-day period of introspection that concludes with Yom Kippur.
