Question

what element do rosh hashanah and yom kippur share?

• they both celebrate the start of a new year.
• they both are considered high holy days.
• they both involve fasting and reflection.
• they both occur during the spring time.

Explanation:

• Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) are both part of the High Holy Days (Days of Awe) in Judaism.
• Option 1: Yom Kippur does not celebrate the new year (that's Rosh Hashanah).
• Option 3: Rosh Hashanah does not typically involve fasting (Yom Kippur does).
• Option 4: These holidays occur in the fall (Tishri), not spring.
• Thus, the correct shared element is being high holy days.

Answer:

B. They both are considered high holy days.
