תִּקְע֣וּ בַחֹ֣דֶשׁ שׁוֹפָ֑ר בַּ֜כֶּ֗סֶה לְי֣וֹם חַגֵּֽנוּ

“Sound the shofar on the New Moon, on the appointed time for the day of our festival.” 
(Psalms 81:4)

What drives us to celebrate Rosh haShanah again? It is not something like the civil New Year. Or, maybe, yes. Many people only meet with family and friends. Not everyone comes to the house like you.

But Rosh haShanah is more than just dinner. It is more than just a family reunion. It is coming together to restart.
