Teshuvah, tefillah, and tzedakah -- translated respectively as repentance, prayer and charity -- are key tenets of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur liturgies in Jewish culture.

Some people may try to be creative with the traditional Rosh Hashanah foods, but nothing quite replaces the perfect combination of apples and honey this time of year.

The Jewish new year is not just a stereotypical December 31 gathering -- with champagne, sparkling grape juice, streamers, confetti -- and otherwise generally a good time to stay off the roads and stay home. It is a much more solemn occasion steeped in centuries of tradition.

The Ein Prat Fountainheads, a group of Jewish musicians, dancers, singers, and other creative souls who all graduated from the Ein Prat Academy, produced a Rosh Hashanah parody on the apples and honey theme of this sweet time of year.

Acapella group the Maccabeats treats us with a song titled Bashana Haba’a, which means ‘Next Year’. 

Tisha B’Av may not be as well known as say the Passover or High Holy Days. So what exactly is this day?
