The first day of each month is known as Rosh Chodesh (the head of the month); the first day of the year (the first day of the first month of the year) is known as Rosh Hashanah (the head of the year.) Says the Midrash:[1] ‫ ִמ ֶּׁש ָּב ַח ר ַה ָּק דֹוׁש ָּב רּוְך הּוא‬,‫ יב) ַא ְׁש ֵר י ַה ּגֹוי ֲאֶׁש ר ה' ֱאֹלָה יו‬,‫ ֲהָד א הּוא ִּד ְכ ִת יב (תהלים לג‬.‫ ַה ֹח ֶד ׁש ַה ֶּזה ָלֶכם‬,‫ ָּד ָב ר ַא ֵח ר‬:‫ יא‬,‫שמות רבה טו‬ ‫ ּוְכ ֶׁש ָּב ַח ר ְּב ַיֲעֹק ב ּוָב ָניו ָק ַב ע ּבֹו ֹראׁש ֳחָד ִׁש ים ֶׁש ל ְּג ֻאָּלה‬,‫ ָק ַב ע ּבֹו ָר אֵׁש י ֳחָד ִׁש ים ְו ָׁש ִנ ים‬,‫ְּב עֹוָלמֹו‬.
