Rosh Hashanah 2022 begins on Sunday, September 25, 2022, and ends on the evening of Tuesday, September 27, 2022

Join us in celebration of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. According to the editors from History.com, it is one of Judaism’s holiest days. Meaning “head of the year” or “first of the year,” the festival begins on the first day of Tishrei, the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar, which falls during September or October. Rosh Hashanah commemorates the creation of the world and marks the beginning of the Days of Awe, a 10-day period of introspection and repentance that culminates in the Yom Kippur holiday, also known as the Day of Atonement. Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are the two “High Holy Days” in the Jewish religion.


Learn more about the history, customs, and traditions of Rosh Hashanah.

September is Healthy Aging Month

Healthy Aging Month was started to encourage people to focus on their health and take precautions to help them face the challenges that come with aging. It started over 30 years ago in 1992 when people born in the 1940s were turning 50. It spread the message that it is possible to adopt a healthier lifestyle at any age and mature gracefully.
