LAPD Steps Up Security Around Jewish Community For High Holy Days

Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, begins at sundown Friday and ends Sunday night. The holiday begins the 10-day period of reflection and repentance that culminates with Yom Kippur, which begins at sundown Sunday, Sept. 20, and ends the following night.

The LAPD said it remains in close contact with community leaders and security partners as people gather for religious observances.
