Going back to the OP, and excuse me if this has been mentioned in any of the many pages that I haven't read through here, Rosh Hashannah (New Year) is ACTUALLY Nisan 1 according to Torah, 13 days before Passover which is on the 14th of Nisan.
The day that is typically CALLED Rosh Hashannah by modern Jews who live by the talmudic law, is actually Yom Teruah, feast of trumpets, and has nothing to do with the new year, and the reason they call it Rosh Hashannah is because it is the Israeli Secular new year, thus as authentic a new year as the Gregorian (named after Pope Gregory / The Gregori) or the Chinese new year, that is to say, that it is not a new year at all.
RHS is A new year according to the Bible:
