No one knows.  The date of Tishri 1, that is New Year for the Jews, is determined by the Temple witnesses spotting the first sliver of the new moon in  our September.  When they report back to the Temple authorities that they have seen it, THAT DAY IS TISHRI 1.

This year, our calendar says it is to be September 9.  Last year, 2009, it was to be September 19.  It turned out last year to be September 21. I'm thinking that this year is will be September 11, exactly 9 years after the Twin Towers went down.

Only time will tell, but this system of determination is the reason that "no man knows the day or hour", so often quoted.  By the way, Tishri 1 is the only date determined in this manner.  All others date off of this date.
