Rosh Hashanah marks the new year of the Jewish calendar, a lunisolar calendar like the Gregorian calendar. Discrepancies between the two will cause this holiday to “move around” on the secular calendar between September 5 and October 5.

Celebratory meals include apples and honey, a tradition only recently established relative to the depth of Jewish history. In Kentucky these crops are harvested around the time of Rosh Hashanah. If you’ve followed along with this calendar, you might have celebrated a belated Apple Feast of the Savior or gone to the Honey Festival in late September.
