We all know that Rosh HaShana is not a day where we bombard Hashem with our wish list for the upcoming year. But is it a day of Tshuva? On one hand we don’t say Slichos and avoid all mention of any reference to aveiros on this day, but on the other hand we blow the Shofar which is very much tied to tshuva. We also know that there are Aseres Yimei Tshuva of which Rosh HaShana is part of. So is it a day of tshuva or is it just a day to coronate our King and kick off our new year?

By Rabbi Y. Dov Krakowski
The following is meant as a convenient review of Halachos pertaining to Rosh Hashana. The Piskei Din for the most part are based purely on the Sugyos, Shulchan Aruch and Ramah, and the Mishna Berura, unless stated otherwise. They are based on my understanding of the aforementioned texts through the teachings of my Rebeim. As individual circumstances are often important in determining the psak in specific cases, and as there may be different approaches to some of the issues, one should always check with one’s Rov first.
