For the Jewish people, it is a season to stand before the Lord, asking for forgiveness and blessing in the year ahead. For Evangelical believers, Rosh Hashana is also a powerful reminder that our faith is rooted in the same covenant God made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The sound of the shofar carries prophetic meaning, calling us to prepare our hearts for the return of the King.
In the Land of the Bible, every stone testifies to God’s faithfulness. From Jerusalem to the Galilee, the story of Israel is woven into the very fabric of our faith. The festivals of Israel are not only moments in Jewish history — they are God’s appointed times, reminding us of His promises and pointing us toward His redemption through Christ.
This Rosh Hashana, we are reminded that the God who watches over Israel also watches over us. Just as He has sustained His people through exile, hardship, and return, He calls us today to trust Him for healing, provision, and restoration.
🙏 Many of our friends and partners across the world mark this day by lifting up prayers in Jerusalem, at one of the holiest places on earth. Pilgrim Prayers offers you the unique opportunity to take part in this sacred tradition — to have your own prayer carried to the Holy Land during this season of renewal and placed before God at the very heart of biblical history.
May this New Year be filled with blessings, overflowing with peace, protection, and God’s abundant grace. May the sound of the shofar stir our hearts to faith and prepare us for the greater harvest to come.
“Blow the trumpet in Zion, declare a holy fast, call a sacred assembly.” – Joel 2:15
