Jersaleum observes Rosh Hashana (11 images)

Residents in Jerusalem prepare for and observe Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, on September 18, 2020. Normally marked by family gatherings, the holiday this year will be subdued due to the coronavirus pandemic. Israel has imposed a new three-week lockdown after a surge in cases.
