“It’s not our new year at all. We are not allowed to consider it as such”
3 related questions if I may.
In addition to the 4 Rosh Hashanas you reference In September, I wish hatzlacha to the new year in school. I and they consider September to be the start of a new school year Ialways wish them success on the new year in September, or Elul as the case may be. Is this allowed?
In medical training July is the start of year Medical students , interns, Residents all get “promoted” July 1st, and at the time we considered this a new year (and today when I interact with trainees I still reference this new year) wishing them health and success on the new year Is this allowed ?
For financial stuff I consider January the start of a new fiscal year and separate finances based on this goyish date. Is this allowed?
In short in addition to the New Years as outlined in Rosh Hashana. I recognize several other new years over the course of the year. you say “We are not allowed to consider it as such” do you have a source for this?
Thanks
( please note the source you do mention is not at all a source for your assertion, if anything it undermines it. As you probably know the passuk is referring to Nissan, yet We DO NOT keep New Years in Nissan. Rosh Hashana the start of the year in Tishrei. Showing clearly that although Nissan is the first month, and it might be wrong to label January, July or September or Elul as the first month. IT is not wrong , based on that passuk to consider other new years. )
