Rosh Hashanah is the New Year in the Hebrew calendar and the first of the ten Yamim Noraim or Days of Awe. It falls on the 1st day of the Hebrew month Tishrei, despite the fact that Tishrei is the seventh month of the calendar (the Hebrew calendar is considerably more complicated that the secular calendar), which is late summer/early autumn depending on the year (as the Hebrew calendar and secular calendars do not correspond, a Hebrew date will fall on different secular dates - and vice versa- each year).
