DES MOINES, IA — At sundown Wednesday, Jews celebrated Rosh Hashana, the holy day they celebrate as the birthday of the world.

Unlike the festive, secular New Year's Day, the observance of Rosh Hashana - Jewish New Year 5768 - is a sober and reflective one.

The fast end at 7:32pm (in NYC), for the Zmanim in your area visit Chabad.org

Today is a fast day mourning the assassination of the Jewish royal Gedaliah ben Achikam, governor of the Land of Israel for a short period following the destruction of the First Temple.

Gedaliah's killing spelled the end of the small remnant of a Jewish community that remained in the Holy Land after the destruction, which fled to Egypt. (According to many opinions, the assassination of Gedaliah actually occurred on Rosh Hashanah, but the commemoration of the event is postponed to the day after the festival; when the day after Rosh Hashanah is a Shabbat — as it is this year — the fast is postponed to Tishrei 4.)

I am one of nine and my wife is one of 11, thank G-d. [Editor's note: Orthodox and many other Jews refrain from writing out or speaking the name of God because doing so outside of prayer and worship is considered sacrilegious.]
