Rosh Hashanah

Rosh Hashanah is a two-day celebration, which begins on the first day of Tishrei. Tishrei is the first month of the Jewish civil year, but the seventh month of the ecclesiastical year.

“Rosh” is the Hebrew word for “head”, “ha” is the definite article (“the”), and “shanah” means year. Thus “Rosh HaShanah” means ‘head [of] the year’, referring to the Jewish day of new year.
