Rosh Hashanah - the Jewish New Year - will be celebrated over the next few days as Jewish people across the world reflect on the past year and look to the new one ahead. It's one of the biggest holidays in the Jewish calendar and it comes with loads of traditions.
Between the blowing of the shofar and the reason it's customary to tuck into a home-made honey cake, there's a lot to learn about Rosh Hashanah. And it doesn't stop there, because 10 days afterwards there's the more solemn occasion of Yom Kippur, a day of atonement when some Jewish people fast from sunset until sunset.
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur comprise the High Holy Days, in which huge numbers of Jewish people will attend synagogue. Attendance often skyrockets so much in this period that synagogues have to rent out specific premises as they're unable to fit the whole congregation in their usual building.
