Rosh ha-Shanah is the first day of the Jewish New Year.
According to Judaism, Rosh ha-Shanah marks the beginning of the year because it is held on the traditional anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, the first man and woman according to the Hebrew Bible, and their inauguration of humanity's role in God's world.

Rosh ha-Shanah customs include sounding the shofar, a hollowed-out ram's horn, as prescribed in the Torah, following the prescription of the Hebrew Bible to "raise a noise" on days of public prayers. Among rabbinical customs is attending synagogue services and reciting special liturgy, as also enjoying festive meals. Like eating traditional foods and fruits such as the pomegranate, a symbol of prosperity and fertility.
Pomegranates are one of the Seven Species (Hebrew: שבעת המינים, Shiv'at Ha-Minim) of fruits and grains enumerated in the Hebrew Bible (Deuteronomy 8:8) as special products of the Land of Israel, and the Songs of Solomon contains this quote: "Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely, thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks." (Song of Solomon 4:3).
Additionally, pomegranates symbolize the mystical experience in the Jewish mystical tradition, or kabbalah, with the typical reference being to entering the "garden of pomegranates" or "pardés rimonim".
