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.
The Hebrew name for the Jewish holiday Rosh HaShanah is from this same root, and means head of the year or beginning of the year -- Ha is the definite article the and Shanah is year.. The second word is ba-RA, meaning create, shape or fashion.
