Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown Monday night, celebrating the Jewish new year.

People are getting ready for Rosh Hashanah at Rye Ridge Deli in Stamford.

Those who celebrate the holiday have large, festive meals.

It's customary for guests to bring a gift, if they are invited to Rosh Hashanah dinner.

These include kosher wine, apples, and honey.

Traditional braided bread called challah will also be served.
