What exactly is Rosh Hashanah and how is it celebrated or observed?

During Yom Kippur, we repeat Ashmanu and Al-Chet prayers, wherein we confess to a list of transgressions.

At a Jewish wedding, typically at the end of the ceremony (although the timing varies in different communities), the groom stomps on a glass, the glass breaks, and everyone shouts, “Mazel tov.”

In Judaism, they can never be considered outdated because they are not a symptom of the time.

There are many outlets online for Jews to find community.

"Happy Chanukah," is a fine greeting and one commonly used among Jewish communities.
