Tishri

Tishri is the first month of the civil year and the seventh month of the ecclesiastical year in the Jewish calendar. It typically falls in September or October of the Gregorian calendar. This month is highly significant as it marks the beginning of the Jewish High Holy Days.123

The month begins with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, observed on the 1st and 2nd of Tishri. This ushers in a ten-day period of repentance and self-examination that culminates in Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, on the 10th of Tishri. Yom Kippur is the most solemn Jewish holiday, dedicated to seeking forgiveness and reconciliation with God through prayer, rest, and fasting. Following Yom Kippur, the festival of Sukkot begins on the 15th of Tishri, celebrating the harvest with observances that include dwelling in temporary huts called sukkot.3245
