Rosh Hashanah is observed by Jewish communities worldwide, particularly in Israel, the United States, France, Canada, United Kingdom, Argentina, and Australia. In Israel, it is a two-day national public holiday.

Rosh Hashanah is a two-day public holiday in Israel. In other countries, it is not officially a public holiday, but many Jewish communities observe it and Jewish employees may take time off from work and school.

Rosh Hashanah traditions include blowing the shofar (ram's horn) in synagogue, dipping apple slices in honey to symbolize a sweet new year, eating pomegranates (symbolic of the 613 commandments), and round challah bread. The Tashlikh ceremony involves symbolically casting sins into flowing water. Traditional greetings include 'Shana Tova' (Good Year).
