Israeli actress Gal Gadot brought the spirit of Rosh Hashanah to the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" studio on Thursday night, appearing on the popular talk show to discuss the Jewish New Year with host Jimmy Kimmel.

Gadot explained the traditions associated with the holiday, including the custom of eating apples and honey, and honey cake, to symbolize a sweet new year. She also shared her personal fondness for gefilte fish, specifically highlighting her enjoyment of the horseradish component.

Demonstrating the holiday's rituals, Gadot produced a shofar, a ram's horn, and explained its significance. She told Kimmel that hearing the shofar is a commandment intended to awaken the soul and unite people as the new year approaches. Gadot then attempted to blow the shofar herself, successfully producing a sound, which she humorously acknowledged wasn't perfect but was an accomplishment.

Kimmel also tried his hand at blowing the shofar, and the segment concluded with both Gadot and Kimmel wishing the audience a happy new year. The appearance, watched by an estimated 3 million viewers, served as a cultural exchange, introducing Rosh Hashanah customs to a broad American audience.
