But that is something you should be wondering about because the 10th day of the seventh month (Tishri) is identified in the Torah as Yom Kippur, but the 1st day of the seventh month (Tishri) is not identified in the Torah as Rosh Hashanah. It is identified only as Yom Teruah, which by extension of the meaning of the word teruah can be translated as the Day of Sounding Horns.
