The High Holidays — or High Holy Days — consist of many different celebrations, but the two main holidays are Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
Sunday, Sept. 25, is Erev Rosh Hashanah, or “eve of Rosh Hashanah,” the New Year of the Jewish calendar.
“We have the secular New Year on Jan. 1, which is more of a party, right?” said Kolby Morris-Dahary, rabbi at Har Mishpacha in Steamboat Springs. “Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is more about a new year for the spirit.”
