Turkish Gold Jewelry Gifting Ideas for Rosh Hashanah – A Jewish New Year
Rosh Hashanah or the Jewish New Year is a special occasion that marks the beginning of a new phase and symbolises transformation. Not to mention, such celebratory occasions call for sincere gift-giving to the favorite people on your list.
This year, the occasion starts at sundown on September 22 and continues through nightfall on September 24. Popularly referred to as the "birthday of the world," it marks the creation of Adam and Eve and is celebrated with prayer, self-reflection, and celebratory meals. There are many traditions around the holiday, including the blowing of the shofar, a ram's horn, and it is traditional to give meaningful gifts.
Turkish Bling's shine-on gold jewelry—inspired by the artisanal tradition of Istanbul—is the perfect gift for the festive season. Full of symbolism, such as the Evil Eye, the Hamsa hand, and the Star of David, these items are personal talismans that imbue blessings of protection, prosperity, and joy.
Which Jewish New Year is it?
The Jewish New Year—the head of the year—is Rosh Hashanah. In the Hebrew calendar, 2025 is the start of year 5786. It's a holiday with serious prayers and a happy celebration. Synagogue services are attended by families where the shofar is blown to stir the soul, and celebratory meals involve foods with symbolic meaning, such as apples dipped in honey for a sweet year. It's time to wish each other a new beginning and a successful year ahead.
Can I say "Happy Rosh Hashanah"?
You bet. To wish someone a "Happy Rosh Hashanah" is an affectionate, generous greeting. The usual Hebrew expression is "Shanah Tovah"—literally "good year"—the traditional Happy New Year. You will also sometimes hear l'shanah tovah u'metukah—"for a good and sweet year." But even a nice and simple "Happy Rosh Hashanah" is most considerate and much loved.
What to wear for the Jewish New Year?
This special day is a dress-for-purpose occasion. You can shop for sophisticated, celebratory wear that embodies respect and happiness. White and pastel shades are in, representing purity and new beginnings. Suits for men, and sophisticated dresses or refined separates for women, are favored. Accessories, particularly symbolic jewelry, add the finishing touch. The notion is to present oneself at its best, celebrating the new beginning and the celebratory mood of the holiday.
