Happy and Holy Rosh Hashanah

The Department of Campus Ministry wishes our Jewish sisters and brothers a very happy and blessed Rosh Hashanah.

Rosh Hashanah begins October 2nd at sunset through October 4th.

Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, commemorates the special relationship between G-d and humanity. The blowing of the shofar, ram’s horn, represents the trumpet blast announcing the coronation of G-d as King, and thus the renewal of this special relationship. The cry of the shofar is also a reminder that the new year provides an opportunity for self-improvement and strengthening of one’s relationship with G-d and His creations.
