“Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year, which is celebrated in the early autumn, usually in September or October. For Messianic Jews, Rosh Hashanah holds great significance as it marks the beginning of the Ten Days of Awe, which culminates in the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur. From a Messianic understanding, Rosh Hashanah is a time of self-reflection and repentance, a time to examine one's life and prepare for the coming of the Messiah. It is also believed to be a time when God judges the world and determines the fate of every person for the coming year. Messianic Jews believe that Rosh Hashanah is a reminder of the ultimate redemption that will come with the return of Jesus the Messiah. The shofar or ram's horn blown during Rosh Hashanah is believed to signify the call of the Messiah, and the tradition of Tashlich, where Jews cast their sins into a body of water, is seen as a symbol of cleansing and the washing away of sins by the Messiah's atoning sacrifice. Overall, Rosh Hashanah is a time for Messianic Jews to renew their commitment to God, seek forgiveness for their sins, and anticipate the coming of the Messiah”
