##Rosh Chodesh in Hebrew means head of the month (Rosh is head, Chodesh is month). Even though Rosh Chodesh is technically only one day of the month, the ancients sometimes celebrated more than one day (see I Sam. 20:1-27). It is recognized as a two-day observance on many modern Jewish calendars. It is a time of joy and celebration, though it is not called a mo’adim or sabbath.
