Rosh Hashanah (Hebrew: ראש השנה, Biblical: IPA: [ˈɾoʃ haʃːɔˈnɔh], Israeli: [ˈroʃ haʃaˈna], Yidish: [ˈroʊʃ hɑˈʃɔnə]) is commonly referred as the Jewish New Year (literally translated as "head of the year"). The day falls on the first of the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar, Tishrei (Leviticus 23:24), the first month being Nisan. Nowhere in the Torah is the holiday called Rosh Hashanah. In Leviticus 23:24 it is referred to as "the day of the blowing of the horns (Shofar)" (Yom Terua). In Ezekiel 40:1 the day is referred to as "the beginning of the year" and not the first day of the year. Rabbinic literature and the liturgy itself describe Rosh Hashanah as "the day of judgment" (Yom ha-Din) and "the day of remembrance" (Yom ha-Zikkaron). Some midrashic descriptions depict God as sitting upon a throne, while books containing the deeds of all humanity are opened for review, and each person passing in front of Him for evaluation of his or her deeds. All of these names are also referenced in the holiday's extensive liturgy.
