==Etymology== The term High Holy Days most probably derives from the popular English phrase, "high days and holy days". The Hebrew equivalent, "''Yamim Noraim''" ({{langx|he|ΧΧΧΧ Χ ΧΧ¨ΧΧΧ}}), is neither Biblical nor Talmudic. Professor [[Ismar Elbogen]] avers that it was a medieval usage, reflecting a change in the mood of Rosh Hashanah from a predominantly joyous celebration to a more subdued day that was a response to a period of persecution.<ref name=OzTorah>{{cite web |url=https://www.oztorah.com/2008/09/high-holydays-ask-the-rabbi/ |title=High Holydays - Ask the Rabbi |access-date=7 October 2018}}</ref>
