Rosh Hashana . . . a few days before the end of September 2009 . . .
marked the beginning of the year 5770 since the creation of eternity.
Sept 2010 to Sept 2011 is the year 5771.
Sept 2011 to Sept 2012 is the year 5772.

Stephen W. Massil is a writer known for his book "Acting for Realtors: A Guide to Getting Started in Real Estate." This book offers insight and advice for those looking to begin a career in real estate.
As I write this, it is September 2011. The Jewish year of 5772 will begin in a few days.
The Jewish new year is the holiday Rosh Hashana which literally translates to "head of the year".
