No. It is a celebration of the liberation of the Jews from Egypt. Like many ancient cultures, ancient Israelites celebrated several "new years". The most prominent these days is Rosh HaShanah, which marks the beginning of the religious year, and which the Torah (the first five books of the Hebrew Bible -- Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy) says is to be celebrated on the first of Tishrei, which is the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar. Hope that's not too confusing!
