  • "The Rosh" is a Hebrew acronym which refers to Rabbi Asher ben Jehiel, a prominent Talmud scholar from Germany (1250-1328)
  • Rosh Hashanah (Talmud) is a tractate in the Talmud dealing with a number of issues, including laws related to the holiday of Rosh Hashanah.
  • Rosh Yeshiva is a title for the religious leader of a Yeshiva, a Jewish school of higher religious study.
  • Rosh Hanikra is a geologic formation on the Mediterranean Coast in western Galilee, on the Israeli side of the Israel-Lebanon border. It is a chalk cliff face which opens up into spectacular grottos. "Rosh Hanikra" can be translated as "Head of the Grotto". There is also a kibbutz by the same name nearby.
