Rosh Hashanah (Hebrew: ראש השנה literally head [of] the year) is the Jewish New Year although the real name for this Feast of the Lord is called Yom Teruah (Hebrew: יום תרועה literally day [of] shouting/raising a noise) or the Feast of Trumpets according to the correct biblical calendar of the 1st and 2nd temple period not Rosh Hashanah. It is the first of the High Holy Days or Yamim Nora’im (Days of Awe) which usually occur in the early autumn of the Northern Hemisphere.
