The Hebrew Calendar: It's Luni-Solar! Learn More.
Shir Ami is hosting a lunch and learn to explain the Hebrew calendar. It's solely lunar--it's luni-solar. How looney is that?!
Lunch and Learn: A “Looney” Look at the Hebrew Calendar presented by Rabbi Joel Simon; Thursday, October 15, Lunch 11:45 AM; Discussion 12:15 PM
The Hebrew calendar is not solely lunar, but rather luni-solar. What does that mean? Sounds a bit looney, no? Join Rabbi Simon to learn why the holidays move around the way they do and how the calendar developed from its biblical roots to the Goldsteins’ calendar hanging on our walls today. As we’ve just celebrated the New Year, you’ll be all set for the year to come and for years to come. Please contact the synagogue office at (215) 968-3400 for further information.
