On the second night of Rosh Hashanah, candles should be lit immediately after sunset, kindled by an existing flame.
The evening meal of the second day of Rosh Hashanah is the same as the night before, except the Shehechiyanu blessing is recited over a new fruit that has not been eaten this season. Pomegranates are a popular choice for this fruit in Israel.
The rituals and the prayers of the second day of Rosh HaShana are similar to the first day, except for a change in the Torah reading and the Haftarah.
