Rosh Hashanah

Okay, in doing another essay for english, i learned several things about Jewish Customs and holidays.
1) They don't eat nuts because they get lodged in the throat and make it quite difficult to eat
2) they don't eat nuts because they have the same numerical equivalent (in Hebrew) as sin, which they are trying to avoid.
3) they use a ram's horn (a shofar) to call Jews to repentance
4) it is known as the day of judgment, when God decides who to keep alive and who to kill off
and
5) No work is permitted on Rosh Hashanah, and most of the day is spent in synagogue.

Seems fun with all the eating, but the praying? i mean, I can hardly sit still during class!
