On the first night of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish people begin their efforts to coronate G‑d as King. The Service is filled with references to this theme. At Chabad House, Rabbi Leibel Lipskier leads a meaningful service, explaining the idea behind each prayer. The service is accompanied by the singing of traditional Chassidic melodies.
Following services, students are invited to a FREE, traditional, home-cooked Rosh Hashanah dinner. Rosh Hashanah is called the Head of the Year, and just like the brain, everything that happens there matters. We eat several traditional foods like apples and Challah in Honey, Pomegranates, and others, each of which is intended to insure us a good and sweet year.
Hearing the Shofar on Rosh Hashanah is the most important part of the Holiday. The Shofar reminds G‑d of the merits of the Jewish people, and crowns G‑d as king. Even if one cannot make it to any other part of the Rosh Hashanah services, this is something that should not be missed.
