ROSH HASHANAH





The Jewish Holidays are nearly upon us! Time to get out the shofar (the horn, seen above) and celebrate the New Year, or Rosh Hashanah (which in Hebrew means "Head of the Year") You can find out a lot more about Rosh Hashanah here .


Services vary, but most synagogues have them on Sept 26, Sept 27, and Sept 28. It can be pretty difficult to get a seat at the synagogue (this is the holiday that most people go to temple for, and as a result, it's quite crowded, and often involves tickets, etc.). Several organizations go out of their way to have seats available for unaffiliated people, travellers, and anyone who needs to go to services:


URI Hillel--401-874-2740
Brown Hillel--401-863-2805
Chabad House -401-273-7238
