Jewish New Year 2024 Date. Sometime between the torah and the codification of the mishnah, the autumn new year gained ascendance, now transformed into a major celebration, and the nisan new year. It is a time of inner renewal and divine atonement.

It is the anniversary of the creation of adam and eve, and a day of judgment and coronation of g‑d as king. It was not until the 2nd century ce when scholars compiling the mishna—the codification of jewish oral law—designated rosh hashana (literally “head of the year”).
