The Jewish New Year is the first day of the Jewish year. It is in September on a different day every year because the Jewish months work by the moon.  It is also a few days after the first day of school after the summer holiday. It is great, we only just start school and we get another holiday.You send to everyone a note with something nice written inside wishing them a good new year.

On Rosh Hashana we eat apples with honey and blow in a shofar. We also eat pomegranates because it is a new year and the pomegranate are a new fruit.  The pomegranate season is on the Jewish new year. The pomegranates have 613 seeds and this is the number of Mitzvot (good deeds) that G'd has done.

On the first night of the Jewish New Year I was at home with my family and we had an amazing dinner. It was really yummy then we had dessert, we had chocolate cake with honey in it.   After dinner my brother Jadon and I watched a really good movie called Vacation.

On the second day of the Jewish New Year I was with friends at their house. We played football after dinner and the dinner was really yummy like my mums cake. I enjoyed the dinner so much that I wanted more.

We all make wishes for the new year. I wish for the Jewish New Year that I will have a really successful year and be happy at school and that my teacher won’t scream at us any more - amen.
