The Jewish High Holidays also known as High Holy Days include Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, which are known in Jewish tradition as the Yamim Noraim - the Days of Awe or Days of Repentance. Rosh Hashanah is the beginning and Yom Kippur is the culmination of the ten special awe-inspiring days within which Jews are afforded the opportunity of a spiritual recovery by strenuous personal effort. Though judgment is made absolute on Yom Kippur, it is not registered until the seventh day of Sukkot, known as Hoshana Rabbah. Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles or Feast of Booths, is both an autumn harvest festival and a commemoration of the Jews' Exodus from Egypt. This festival is closed with the holiday Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah. In 2024 Rosh Hashanah is Oct. 2-4, Yom Kippur is Oct. 11-12, Sukkot is Oct. 16-23, and Shemini Atzeret & Simchat Torah are Oct. 23-25.
