	Rosh HaShanah
		Rosh in Hebrew means "chief or head" and shanah means "year." Rosh HaShanah is the head of the year on the civil calendar, and is also known as the birthday of the world since the world was created on this day (Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 11a).
		The reason that Rosh HaShanah is the seventh month in the biblical religious calendar is that G-d made the month of Nisan the first month of the year in remembrance of Israel's divine liberation from Egypt (Exodus [Shemot] 12:2; 13:4).
		According to the Mishnah (Rosh HaShanah 16a; Rosh HaShanah 3:3), the trumpet used for this purpose is the ram's horn, not trumpets made of metal as in Numbers (Bamidbar) Chapter 10.

		These symbolic acts are performed during the first evening meal of Rosh Hashanah, and in the Sepharadic custom, the second night as well.
		On Rosh Hashanah nuts are not eaten, since they increase phlegm and saliva, and distract one during prayer.
		Another reason: The numerical value of the Hebrew term for nut, ‘egoz’, is the same as that of ‘chet’ (Hebrew for sin) and we refrain from alluding to sin on Rosh Hashanah.

		This being the case, Rosh Hashanah is a birthday of sorts for the human race.
		Answer: Since Rosh Hashanah is the anniversary of the creation of the world, it follows that it is also the anniversary of God being sovereign over the world.
		Rosh Hashanah is a coronation of sorts, and thus we trumpet the shofar just like at a coronation ceremony.

	Kolel: Jewish Holidays > Rosh Hashanah
		Rosh Hashanah literally means, “Head of the Year.” Although commonly referred to as the “New Year,” Rosh HaShanah is actually only one of four new years in the Hebrew calendar.
		Rosh Hashanah is the anniversary of creation, and therefore a new beginning in the cycle of time that began when God created the world.
		The nature of the day was established in the Torah, but the name Rosh Hashanah was not used until later, perhaps out of fear that a major Jewish festival around the Autumn new moon would be associated with the many pagan moon festivals that were common at the time.

		Rosh Hashanah is one of two High Holidays in the Jewish religion, the other being Yom Kippur, which occurs 10 days after Rosh Hashanah begins.
		Rosh Hashanah begins with the first day of the seventh month, Tishri, and so is something of a symbolic New Year (at least in terms of what most people think of as "New Year's").

		On the second night of Rosh Hashanah, it is common to eat a "new fruit"--a fruit that participants have not tasted for a long time.
		Sephardic communities (which trace their ancestry to Mediterranean lands) have developed a Rosh Hashanah seder, which revolves around the eating of symbolic foods and the recitation of prayers that transform these foods into wishes for the coming year.
		Rosh Hashanah can be an opportunity for reflecting on the year that has passed and setting goals for the year to come.

		In contrast, the designation of a festival called Rosh Hashanah is nowhere to be found in the Bible.
		We are also told (Rosh Hashanah 1:2) that on this day, "...all who come into the world pass before God like legions of soldiers." The Mishnah understands this metaphor to denote that on this day, all human beings pass before God in judgment.
		However elusive the biblical message about Rosh Hashanah may be, the festival has evolved through our tradition to represent a season of personal and universal renewal.

	Symbolism of the Shofar - High Holidays with Aish
		The shofar is the quintessential symbol of Rosh Hashana.
		Rosh Hashana is the day of appreciating who God is. We then internalize that understanding so that it becomes a living, practical part of our everyday reality.
		On Rosh Hashana, we need to wake up and be honest and objective about our lives: Who we are, where we've been, and which direction we're headed.

		The Talmud tells us that there are four New Year observances: the first of Nisan is the Rosh Hashanah for Kings and pilgrimage festivals.
		The first of Tishrei is the Rosh Hashanah for the computation of years and the 15th of Shevat is the Rosh Hashanah for fruit trees.
		One theory suggests that the Rosh Hashanah which is about to occur may have been rooted in an old Babylonian custom which took place about this time of the year as a celebration of a bountiful harvest and thus renewing obedience to the throne.

	Breslov—Judaism with Heart
		Rosh HaShanah literally means the "head of the year." The year is like an organic entity, with a head, a heart, arms, legs and so on.
		From time to time during the Rosh HaShanah dancing, a few people would sing the traditional Breslover song, "Uman, Uman, Rosh HaShanah..." But the idea of actually being in Uman for Rosh HaShanah was as laughable as Avraham and Sarah having a baby in their old age.
		Getting ready for Rosh HaShanah is much like preparing to meet the "King." Few of us today have had any exposure to true royalty, nor have we grown up with that sense of respect and reverence for kings and powerful rulers that previous generations had.

	Rosh HaShanah - The Shofar: A Cry From The Depths - OU.ORG
		According to the Talmud, the sequence of sounds should be "Tekiah, Teruah, Tekiah." The Tekiah is an unbroken note representing the positive, hopeful side of our attitude as we approach the Yom HaDin, the Day of Judgment.
		However, there is a dispute in the Talmud as to the meaning of "Teruah." One opinion is that it is a sighing, groaning sound; this is what we call "Shevarim" (from the root "shavor," "to break") - a note broken into three parts.
		When, however, a day of Rosh HaShanah falls on Shabbat, the Shofar is, by Rabbinical Decree, not blown (for fear of someone carrying the Shofar to a Master Baal Tokea (an expert at the art of blowing the Shofar), for instruction, "carrying" being considered a melacha, a purposeful, creative act, and therefore forbidden, on Shabbat).

	Talmud
		Whatever questions there may be about the value of these reports for reconstructing an accurate historical impression of their subjects, the stories about various rabbinic heroes offer a window into the worldview of ancient Jews that provides a cultural sidelight on early Christian stories about Jesus and his disciples.
		The compilation of Gemara from competing Jewish schools into one massive unified Babylonian Talmud was probably prompted by attempts of Persian authorities to limit and suppress Jewish education in the late 5th c.
		But since they were beyond political scrutiny of the Roman empire, the framers of the Babylonian Talmud were also freer to include rabbinic messianic and eschatological speculation in their work, speculation that had been suppressed by leaders of the Academy in Palestine due to the abortive bar Kochba revolt [135 CE] and friction with Christians.

		The celebration of Rosh Hashanah as the birth of the Universe is a fact derived in the Talmud by the Sages.
		In Chapter 4, we will see how the structure of the Rosh Hashanah Musaf service revolves around the concepts of "Malchyot", "Zichronot", and "Shofarot." In each section, selections from the Tanach (Torah, Neviim, Ketuvim; Pentateuch, Prophets, Writings) are recited and then followed by the sounding of the shofar.
		Therefore, the sabbath prohibitions may be violated only for the sake of Rosh Chodesh Nisan and Tishrei, to commemorate the festivals in their proper season.

		Rosh Hoshanna is a two-day festival which we honor and enjoy with special (new) clothing and festive meals.
		Another Rosh Hoshanna theme embedded in our liturgy is the concept of a Jewish Marriage ceremony taking place under the Chupah (clouds at Mt. Sinai), which is all reflected at the Har Sinai stage (Sh'mot [Exodus] 19), when the Torah (the K'tubah or marriage contract) was delivered to Moshe and bnei Israel.
