May Day
May Day in Germany is a holiday to celebrate the start of spring and to campaign for workers' rights. It is always on May 1.
Rosh Hashana is celebrated as the Jewish New Year among many Jewish communities worldwide. It starts 163 days after the first day of Passover. Rosh Hashana lasts for up to two days in many communities.
Is Rosh Hashana a Public Holiday?
Although Rosh Hashana is not a public holiday, businesses and schools may be closed because it falls on the same date as Day of German Unity in 2024.
The shofar is an important symbol of Rosh Hashana (also known as Rosh Hashanah).
