Jewish Syracuse University Students attended the Winnick Hillel Center for Jewish Life Thursday at ten for the reformed Rosh Hashanah service.
Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish new year and it is marked by the ceremonial dipping of apples in honey. Third year rabbinical student Neil Hirsch who led the Rosh Hashanah service said, "We eat apples and honey, on Rosh Hashanah, in a spirit of sweetness." Hirsch also mentioned that Rosh Hashanah is a time to forget the bad things that may have happened in the past and look towards a better future. In his current school, Hirsch will be a Rabbi within three years.
The service lasted two hours and many of the students stayed for the post-service brunch.
