This month shall be to you the head of the months; to you it shall be the first of the months of the year. EXODUS (12:2) הַחֹדֶשׁ הַזֶּה לָכֶם רֹאשׁ חֳדָשִׁים רִאשׁוֹן הוּא לָכֶם לְחָדְשֵׁי הַשָּׁנָה שמות יב:ב ha-kho-desh ha-ze la-khem rosh kho-da-sheem ri-shon hu la-khem l'-khad-shay ha-sha-na Jerusalem Inspiration We know that the Jewish New Year begins with the Hebrew month of Tishrei in the fall, so why does today's verse refer to the month of Nissan, in the spring, as the first month of the year?
