Rosh Hashanah

Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year and is observed at the beginning of the month of Tishri in the Hebrew calendar. It usually falls in September or early October in the Gregorian calendar. The holiday is also known as the Feast of Trumpets and begins the period commonly called the High Holy Days.

Rosh Hashanah is significant as a time of renewal, remembrance, and judgment in Jewish tradition. It begins the Ten Days of Repentance, which lead to Yom Kippur. The holiday’s timing reflects the Hebrew lunisolar calendar, which is why its Gregorian dates vary from year to year.
