Why do so many people wrongfully say Rosh Hashana is the New Year when the Bible itself states that New Year is 14 days before PASSOVER?
...And there is NOTHING in Scripture that says anything about Rsh Hashana (which is the Feast of Trumpets) is a "spiritual" New Year as many claim.

Despite all the various misunderstandings and misinterpretations of such things - odds are that Jesus will (one day) return (come again) at the very end of the old, Feast of Trumpets (at "the last trump") - ushering in not only a new day/year, but a whole new age.

The Jewish calendar recognizes 2 new years. Spring seems to be the start of a new year because we're coming out of winter (in the northern hemisphere).
Rosh Hashana is considered the birthday of humanity -- the day Adam was formed.
You are not required to accept any of this, but you need to know it if you want to win "Jeopardy".
The answer is, "A pineapple under the sea."

I thought Rosh Hashanah was the Judgment Day of the Dead and kicked off with the sounding of trumpets made from ram's horns throughout Jewish neighborhoods in an event called the shofar?

Celebrations are only significant if you believe in them - God can use any language or religion or cultural protocol to express His will

The Roman new year starts on 1 January, the jewish new year starts on 1 Tishri (Sep-Oct). Choose whatever you want.

Anything other than using the solstice as "new year" (i.e. using a physical event as a reference point) is completely and 100% arbitrary. When does a circle begin and end? We could debate it endlessly. And furthermore what does it matter?

Why are you an idiot who knows nothing about either Christianity or Judaism?
Hint, not everyone uses the Gregorian Calendar, some people use the Lunar one.
