Traditions during Rosh Hashanah include sounding the shofar in the synagogue, eating symbolic foods such as apples and challah dipped in honey to usher in a sweet new year, and performing tashlich, where sins are symbolically cast away into a body of water. Common greetings during this time include “Shanah tovah u-metuqah,” meaning “A good and sweet new year.”
