Rosh Jodesh (Hebrew: ראש חודש, head of the month/beginning of month) is the name for the first day of each month in the Hebrew calendar, marked by the appearance of the new moon. He is considered holiday although minor, very similar to the intermediate days between Passover (Pesach) and Pentecost (Sukkot) called the omer count. It is observed with prayers as the Psalms of Hallel ("praise") in all Orthodox and conservative synagogues. The observance of Rosh Jodesh moved out of Egypt and to the commandments of God given to Moses on Mount Sinai, and is a prerequisite to knowing when it is earlier this month because the Jewish people have a lunar calendar; in this way, knowing when to start the month can celebrate all religious holidays such as Easter on 14 Nisan, Pentecost seven weeks later, Yom Kippur the 10th day of Tishrei, etc. It was based on the testimony of two witnesses who gave notice to the Sanhedrin that new moon, i.e., a sliver of the sun light reflected on the Moon, was typically appearing a day or two after the astronomical new moon. It is known that nowadays are not necessary those witnesses since technology has advanced so far that it is possible to calculate this very accurately. Also touch the trumpets days happy, as party or new moon day, when they offer burnt offerings and sacrifices of reconciliation. So I I will remember you. "I am the Lord their God."
