Rosh Hashanah 2029

The New Year, which opens the Ten Days of Awe in the autumn with the sound of the shofar; Karaites keep the day as Yom Teruah.

In 2029: Monday 10 September, in Masorti, Reform and Karaite practice alike.

Like every day of the Jewish year, it begins at sunset the evening before. Karaite dates are projected, and may move a day once the new moon is sighted.
