Jewish people celebrate Rosh Hashana, the New Year, on the 1st day of the 7th month of the lunar calendar. All Jewish holidays are based on the lunar calendar.

On the first date following the last day of the old year, just like christians, muslims, sikhs, buddhists, hindos, taoists, wiccan and every other religion.

Rosh Hashanah, the "head of the year", always falls on the first two days of Tishrei. Relative to the four seasons, the Jewish new year occurs in the northern hemisphere in early autumn. In the Gregorian calendar, Rosh Hashanah occurs sometime in the month of September or October. Rosh Hashanah is the anniversary of Creation.

Answer 4

The Jewish new year is always on the first day of the month of Tishrey which is the first month of the Hebrew calendar. This date may occur anywhere on September or October. The next Hebrew new year will occur on the 29 of September 2011. It will be the head of year 5772 from creation of man.

Please note that at ancient times, specifically on the Biblical era the new year was set to the first day of Nisan, half a year earlier (March - April)

Answer 5

Rosh Hashanah is the first two days of the month of Tishrei, and is the Jewish New Year. Our traditions state that at that time the world is judged for the coming year (Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 16a); and we read the Torah and say prayers which ask for a good year and which declare God's kingship over the world. The shofar (ram's horn) is blown (Leviticus 23:24; Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 33b-34a), symbolically heralding God's kingship, and calling to mind the covenant of Isaac (see Genesis ch.22). Festive meals are held in the home, and traditional foods (such as the well-known apple dipped in honey) are eaten to symbolize a sweet year.
