The first known descriptions of Rosh Hashanah as we now understand it come in the oral traditions compiled and arranged in the Mishnah, around 200 C.E. By then the vacation was often observed over two days due to the uncertainty of forecasting which day the sighting of the new moon--which indicated the beginning of the new month--would be declared by the Sanhedrin, the Jewish religious court that was central.

Today Rosh Hashanah is the sole holiday celebrated for 2 days both within and outside of Israel.
