Rosh signifie tête — sommet du corps, sommet de la montagne, le premier ou le chef de quelque chose. De là viennent Roch Hachana (tête de l'année) et la riche idée biblique de direction.

Rosh is the head — physical (the top of the body), positional (the chief), and temporal (the first). It is the “head of the year” at Rosh Hashanah.

The Bible uses it of those set over the people, but also of the stone the builders rejected becoming the rosh of the corner. Jesus, the rejected stone, becomes the head of God’s new building.
