It is considered a day of reflection, introspection, self-examination and spiritual renewal. It is the day on which, according to tradition, the Lord examines all of mankind and takes into account the good or bad deeds each has done in the previous year.\u201d In fact, the Talmud says, \u201cDuring Rosh Hashanah all creation is judged before the Lord.\u201d It is not by chance that in Jewish tradition it is also called \u201cYom HaDin,\u201d Day of Judgement. \u00a0Divine justice will be sealed on the day of Kippur, Day of Atonement. These two dates are separated by seven days which sum up to two of the Rosh Hashanah, and those of Kippur are the so-called \u201cten days of penance.\u201d Rosh Hashanah regards the single individual, the relationship one has with one\u2019s neighbour and with God, and each one\u2019s intentions to improve.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
