Chabad of Park City will hold services for both of Judaism’s High Holy Days: Rosh Hashana, the Hebrew new year, which starts at sundown on Sunday, Sept. 9, and continues through nightfall on Tuesday, Sept. 11, and Yom Kippur, a day of atonement, which begins at sundown on Tuesday, Sept. 18, and ends after dark on Wednesday, Sept. 19. A new year “Rosh” translates to “head” and “Hashana” to “the year” in Hebrew.
