Israel Images ,Israel Pictures and Israel Photos of Rosh Hashanah The Jewish New Year is set aside by the Mishna as the new year for calculating calendar years, sabbatical and jubilee years. According to Jewish legend, the creation of the world was completed on Tishrei 1. This holiday is characterized by the blowing of the shofar, a trumpet made from a ram's horn. The practice of Tashlikh, the symbolic casting away of sins by throwing either stones or bread crumbs into the waters, occurs during the afternoon of the first day. Rosh Hashanah is always observed as a two-day holiday, both inside and outside the boundaries of Israel. All Photos by Rafael Ben-Ari/Chameleons Eye
