- 2
What does Leviticus 23:23–25 command for Rosh Hashanah?
Model answer
Leviticus 23 commands a day of rest on the first day of the seventh month. The day is marked by blasts of the trumpet and a holy gathering.
- 3
Why is the shofar blown at Rosh Hashanah?
Model answer
The shofar, a ram's horn, is blown to wake people up to repent. The ram's horn also recalls the ram sacrificed instead of Isaac.
- 4
Name two customs of Rosh Hashanah other than the shofar.

Jews eat apples dipped in honey for a sweet new year. Tashlich is the custom of throwing breadcrumbs into running water to symbolise casting away sins.

What is Yom Kippur?
Model answer
Yom Kippur is the Day of Atonement, ten days after Rosh Hashanah. Jews believe God seals each person's judgement for the coming year.
