Rosh Hashanah (Hebrew: ראש השנה‎), (literally “head of the year”), is the Jewish New Year. The first of the High Holy days or Yamim Nora’im (“Days of Awe”), Rosh Hashanah is observed and celebrated on the first two days of Tishrei, the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar [1] (nine and eight days before Yom Kippur). It is described in the Torah as יום תרועה (Yom Teru’ah, a day of sounding [the Shofar]).[2]
