The two-day holiday of Rosh Hashanah marks the Jewish New Year and the beginning of the High Holy Days (ten days later is Yom Kippur). Traditions include special synagogue services, the blowing of the shofar (a ram's horn), and sweet foods like apples with honey and raisin challah bread. Or, for non-Jews, getting out of school:

Unlike most people, the Jews did not benefit me today. Leave it up to me to choose a Catholic school for college.
