Explore the rich tapestry of Jewish holidays and traditions.
Understanding the Jewish Calendar
The Jewish calendar is a lunisolar calendar, meaning it is based on both the moon’s phases and the sun’s position. It consists of twelve months in a normal year and thirteen months in a leap year, allowing for the alignment with the solar year.
Key holidays include Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Passover, and Hanukkah, each celebrated with unique customs and practices.
The calendar is not only a way to keep track of time but also serves as a guide for religious observances and community gatherings.
