The Jewish New Year is called Rosh Hashanah. It is celebrated on the 1st and 2nd days of the Hebrew month "Tishrei", and in fact begins on the 29th (and last) night of the month of "Elul". This is the only Jewish holiday that lasts for two entire days. The reason behind this celebration is to emphasize the importance of those days.
