Yom Teruah is the first fall feast – it marks the start of the fall feast season. Teruah means to make a loud noise, which is why Yom Teruah is also called the “Day of Trumpets” or even “Day of Shouting.”
The Bible tells us it is a memorial of blowing of trumpets. The event this reference is one we are told many times not to forget – the day the Almighty shouted down the 10 commandments to the people from atop Mount Sinai in the desert after delivering them from slavery in Egypt. 

This feast also known as Rosh Hashana (Hebrew: רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה‎, lit. 'head of the year'). Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of the civil year, according to the teachings of Judaism, and is the traditional anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve.
Rosh Hashana for Hebrew Year 5786  begins at sundown on Monday, 22 September 2025 and ends at nightfall on Wednesday, 24 September 2025.
