Rosh Hashanah.

Another holiday that was spent in the dreaded concentration camp was Rosh Hashanah. Rosh Hashanah is also known as the Jewish new year. Like the American new year, the Jewish New Year is a time to reflect on old mistakes from the previous year and taking the initiative to start anew, making changes for the new year. This day is a day of no work, spending most of your day in the synagogue [the Jewish place of worship]. A popular thing to eat on this holiday is bread or apples dipped in honey. They eat sweet food as a symbol of their wish for a sweet year.
