Israelis Shop For Rosh HaShanah, Jerusalem
An Ultra-Orthodox Israeli walks pass a street performer in the Mahane Yehuda Market on the eve of Rosh HaShanah, the Jewish New Year, in Jerusalem, Israel, September 15, 2012. Rosh HaShanah is the first day of the Jewish 'High Holy Days" that ends in ten days on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish year. Jewish tradition teaches that God decides who will live and who will die during the coming year as Jews examine their lives and repent for any wrongs they committed the previous year during the "High Holy Days". According to the Jewish calendar the world has existed for 5772 years. UPI/Debbie Hill
