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 Hashanah marks the start of a new year in the Hebrew calendar (one of four new year observances that define various legal years for different purposes as explained in the Mishnah and Talmud). It is the new year for people, animals, and legal contracts.
