About this countdown
This countdown targets Rosh Hashanah on Saturday, October 2, 2027, set by the rule: Set each year by official proclamation. It runs on your device's clock and counts to midnight at the start of the day.
Rosh Hashanah is an observance rather than a public holiday, so offices, banks and schools keep their normal hours. Nobody gets a paid day off for it, though plenty of people mark it anyway. Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is a two-day religious observance in September or October. In Texas it is an optional state holiday: agencies stay open, but state employees may take the days off in exchenge for working another state holiday.
