This is the time to take the inspiration and all that we gained in the month of tishrei and integrate it into our lives.
When is the first month of the jewish year.
The jewish calendar actually has more than one new year depending on what you re counting.
Holidays and festivals are scattered throughout the jewish year with the exception of the month of heshvan.
However for religious purposes the year begins on nisan 1.
In civil contexts a new year in the jewish calendar begins on rosh hashana on tishrei 1.
However the jewish new year is in tishri the seventh month and that is when the year number is increased.
Tishrei the first month of the jewish year is replete with holidays.
This concept of different starting points for a year is not as strange as it might seem at first glance.
The first month of the jewish calendar is the month of nissan in the spring when passover occurs.
1 nissan is the new year for months.
Nissan is the month of our redemption from egypt a defining moment in our history.
Months in the gregorian calendar.
In this manner the jewish year begins with god s great redemptive act at the time of the exodus from egypt.
