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.
Knowing exactly when the month begins has always been important in Jewish practice, because the Torah schedules the Jewish festivals according to the days of the month. The first day of the month, as well as the thirtieth day of a malei month, is called Rosh Chodesh, the âHead of the Month,â and has semi-festive status.
