Nissan is the first month of our history as a Jewish nation. Important dates in Nissan (mainly Pesach) are important for us as Jews. The Torah introduces this month to us as: “This month will be for you the first of months… ”1 Six months later, we celebrate Rosh Hashanah, the New Year for all people and all life.
