Rosh Hashanah 5784



Last night (September 15, 2023) at sunset began Rosh Hashanah, beginning the new year 5784 in the Jewish Calendar. The Jewish calendar is the oldest calendar still in use today. It was started in the 9th century BC and based on biblical calculations that the creation took place in 3761 BC.
