ROSH HASHANAH - Temple Jeremiah

Rosh Hashanah. 3. When did the holiday receive the name Rosh Hashanah? It was not until about the 2nd century C.E. that the name Rosh Hashanah first occurs in the Mishnah. Before then, however, the day had other designations. The oldest name, found in the Torah (Numbers 29:1), is Yom Teruah (Day of Sounding the Shofar).
