Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, began Sunday evening with services at synagogues throughout Ventura County. Tashlich ceremonies, in which congregations walked to the nearest body of water, took place Monday, along with the blowing of the shofar. “We visit a body of water to symbolically cast our sins into the ocean, free of negativity,” said Rabbi Moshe Bryski of Chabad of the Conejo.

CROWN HEIGHTS [CHI] — A Crown Heights father’s pleasant Rosh Hashanah evening turned into a nightmare as he returned home from a meal on the second night of Rosh Hashanah. A gun was pointed at him point blank, and no matter how much he tried to explain that a Jew would not have money on a holiday, the mugger was unmoved – he pulled the trigger.

Rabbi Areyah Kaltmann blows a shofar during morning service at the Lori Schottenstein Chabad Center in New Albany.

When Joseph Kaltmann blows a ram’s horn called a shofar, the trumpetlike sound is booming, piercing, just “really loud,” according to his son, Rabbi Areyah Kaltmann of New Albany, Ohio. The vigor with which the 84-year-old man blows is inspired by the sounds he heard as a teen lying half-dead in a World War II Nazi concentration camp in Halberstadt, Germany.
