The Month of Tishrei (תִּשְׁרֵי)

Tishrei is the first month of the Jewish civil year and the seventh month of the religious year counting from Nisan. It is the most holiday-rich month in the Hebrew calendar, beginning with the awe-inspiring Days of Awe (Yamim Noraim) — Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur — and continuing with the joyous festivals of Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret, and Simchat Torah. The name Tishrei is derived from the Akkadian word for "beginning," reflecting its role as the start of the new year. According to tradition, the world was created on 1 Tishrei.
