Rosh HaShanah 2006 Jewish Year 5767 As of Saturday afternoon, May 27th, 2006: Countdown to ROSH HASHANAH 2006! Days Hrs Min Sec Rosh HaShanah takes place this year (2006) at sunset, September 22, 2006 through nightfall on September 24.   This I located & it may be of interest:  Since this year (2006) it falls on a Shabbat and the next year this happens is not until 2009, it may well be this year.  Look at the historical node we are at with Iraq.  And then add to this the 1 in 100,000 Bible Code prophecy of World War III in 2006....revealed in a book by of course a non-believer (in the New Testament,anyway).   God operates in strange ways ! It is very unusual for Rosh HaShanah to fall on the Shabbat. We looked and can't find any other date other than in 2009 and we checked all through 2017! The only other Shabbat besides 2006 that falls on a Rosh HaShanah is in 2009. After that it will be 2020! Remember, Rosh HaShanah begins on September 22 at sundown.
