Tishrei, in the Hebrew calendar, marks the beginning of the civil year and is a time of significant religious observance. It typically falls in September or October in the Gregorian calendar. This month is distinguished by several major holidays, including Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot.
This period holds deep spiritual significance, focusing on themes of judgment, repentance, and renewal. It marks the start of the High Holy Days, a ten-day period of introspection and prayer culminating in Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. The subsequent festival of Sukkot, commemorating the Israelites’ journey through the desert, emphasizes themes of gratitude and reliance on divine protection. The convergence of these holidays within a single month underscores its central role in the Jewish liturgical year.
