Rosh Hashanah is the holiday that begins the Jewish New Year. It is a time of celebration, but it is also a holiday filled with prayer, reflection, and planning for the future. There are many rituals and prayers particular to Rosh Hashanah which express these themes and create more opportunities for people to connect to this holiday.

There are also many elements of Rosh Hashanah connected with the fertility journey.  For many people struggling to grow their families, this is one of the hardest times of the year.  The rituals of Rosh Hashanah may offer opportunities for reflection and rejuvenation when used to support the fertility journey. The rituals in this booklet are designed to do exactly that. 

Take time to review these rituals before Rosh Hashanah begins so you can decide if any will help you prepare for the holiday.  You can revisit this book throughout the Hebrew month of Tishrei, anytime you need.

May these rituals help you welcome in a new year, and may they offer you healing, inspiration, and comfort during this time.
