First Day Of Rosh Hashanah 2024. Rosh hashanah covers two days (first day is called tishrei) which is part of the 10 high holy days which concludes with yom kippur. Since it is based on the hebrew calendar, rosh hashanah begins on the first day of the seventh month, so this year’s celebration will start at sunset on.
