Tishrei

Tishrei is the first month of the Jewish civil year, occurring in fall, typically September or October. It is considered a spiritually significant time, marked by a series of important holidays such as Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year), Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles), Shemini Atzeret, and Simchat Torah. These holidays focus on themes of renewal, repentance, reflection, gratitude, and community. Tishrei is a time for renewal of faith and personal introspection, often involving prayer, festive gatherings, and rituals that emphasize connection with God and community.
