Jewish calendar \Jew"ish cal"en*dar\       A lunisolar calendar in use among Hebraic peoples, reckoning       from the year 3761 b. c., the date traditionally given for       the Creation.          Note: It received its present fixed form from Hillel II.                about 360 a. d. The present names of the months, which                are Babylonian-Assyrian in origin, replaced older ones,                Abib, Bul, etc., at the time of the Babylonian Exile.                Nineteen years constitute a lunar cycle, of which the                3d, 6th, 8th, 11th, 14th, 17th, and 19th years are leap                years. The year 5663 [1902-3 a. d.] was the first year                of the 299th lunar cycle. The common year is said to be                defective, regular, or perfect (or abundant) according                as it has 353, 354, or 355 days. The leap year has an                intercalary month, and a total of 383 (defective), 384                (regular), or 385 (perfect, or abundant) days. The                calendar is complicated by various rules providing for                the harmonious arrangement of festivals, etc., so that                no simple perpetual calendar can be constructed. The                following table gives the months in order, with the                number of days assigned to each. Only three months vary                in length. They are: Heshvan, which has 30 days in                perfect years; Kislev, which has 30 days in regular and                perfect years; and Adar, which has 30 days in leap                years. The ecclesiastical year commences with Nisan and                the civil year with Tishri. The date of the first of                Tishri, or the Jewish New Year, is also given for the                Jewish years 5661-5696 (1900-1935 a. d.). From these                tables it is possible to transform any Jewish date into                Christian, or vice versa, for the years 1900-1935 a. d.                Months of the Jewish Year. 1 Tishri . . . . . . 30 2                Heshvan . . . . . 29 (r. & d.) or 30 (p.) 3 Kislev . .                . . . . 29 (d.) or 30 (r. & p.) 4 Tebet . . . . . . 29                5 Shebat . . . . . . 30 6 Adar . . . . . . . 29 or 30                (l.) -- Veadar . . . . . 29 (occuring only in leap                years) 7 Nisan . . . . . . .30 8 Ivar . . . . . . ..29                9 Sivan . . . . . . .30 10 Tammux . . . . . . 29 11 Ab                . . . . . . . . 30 12 Elul . . . . . . ..29 Jewish Year                a. d.
