Rosh Hashanah, marking the beginning of the Jewish calendar year 5786, is one of the most significant festivals in Judaism. It also signals the start of the High Holy Days and is observed over two days with extended synagogue services, family gatherings and prayers of reflection and repentance.
According to Jewish tradition, Rosh Hashanah is believed to be the day God evaluates each individual's deeds and inscribes their fate for the coming year in the Book of Life.
These days are considered sacred in the Jewish faith and are dedicated to introspection, spiritual renewal, and seeking forgiveness.
Earlier, Prime Minister Modi had thanked Prime Minister Netanyahu for his birthday wishes and reaffirmed the strong friendship and strategic partnership between India and Israel. His latest greeting follows his earlier wishes to Netanyahu on the Israeli leader's 75th birthday last week. (ANI)
