Last updated on Tevet 12, 5784

 

This paper was written in order for me to have a calendar of all the events recorded in the Torah, Prophets, Writings, and Nazarean Codicil, for every day of the year. From this calendar many amazing events and relationships were exposed.

 

The many events of Passover, for example, included the Pesach celebrated by Avraham, 400 years before the giving of the Torah!

 

That both Temples were started on the same day, and destroyed on the same day.

 

And many more …

Nisan (Aviv)     Always has 30 days. Mazal is Toleh (ram). Tribe is Reuben. 3

Iyar (Zif)        Always has 29 days. Mazal is Shor (Bull).  Tribe is Shimon. 11

The Calendar for Gentile Kings

 

The First Day of Tishri is Hashanah for the following five matters[1]:

 

1. For Gentile Kings - They count their reigns from the First of Tishri, such that even if a King began his reign at the end of Elul, once Tishri began, it would be considered as the Second Year of his reign.

 

2. The Shmita cycle and the Yovel cycle begin – With the beginning of the month of Tishri in a Shmita or Yovel year, it is forbidden by the Torah to plow or plant in the land of Israel.

 

3. Years[2] – The first of Tishri is regarded as the new year for counting years.

 

4. For Planting Trees – The produce of fruit trees is forbidden as orlah for the first three years after the tree is planted. If a tree is planted more than forty-four days before the first of Tishri, then the first of Tishri marks the beginning of the second year of the tree’s life.

 

5. For Produce – The first of Tishri is regarded as the beginning of the year as regards the separation of Terumot and Ma’asrot from produce.

 

The Festival Calendar and for Jewish Kings[3]

 

The First Day of Nisan is Hashanah for the following five matters[4]:

 

1. Kings of Israel - They count their reigns from the First of Nisan, such that even if a King began his reign at the end of Adar, once Nisan began, it would be considered as the Second Year of his reign.

 

2. Pilgrim Festivals - The Festival which occurs in Nisan, namely Pesach, is considered the First of the three Pilgrim Festivals: Pesach, Shavuot, Succoth.

 

3. Months - Nisan is considered the first of the months. The Torah refers to other months as second, third,…twelfth with reference to Nisan.

 

4. Leap Years - The Court may proclaim a "Leap Year" only until the first of Nisan. Once that date has arrived, the time for "Leaping" has "Leapt"

 

5. Donation of Shekalim - All Communal Sacrifices brought from this day forward are paid from the Shekalim collected in the Current Year; last year's Shekalim are no longer used for this purpose.

[1] Sefer HaTodaah, Eliyahu Kitov

[2] Rosh Hashanah 1:1

[3] Artscroll Tanach on Ezra, page 155

[4] Sefer HaTodaah, Eliyahu Kitov

[5] From Luke 6:1 - 1207 deuteroprotos, dyoo-ter-op'-ro-tos; from 1208 and 4413; second-first, i.e. (spec.) a designation of the Sabbath immediately after the Passover (being the second after Passover day, and the first of the seven Sabbaths intervening before Pentecost):-second...after the first.

[6]  TC - Triennial Torah Cycle.

[7]  AC - Annual Torah cycle.

[8] The Chatam Sofer writes that the night Bo’az married Ruth was the night of the seventeenth of Tammuz. The calculation is as follows: Ruth came to Eretz Yisrael on the sixteenth of Nisan. According to halachah, female converts are required to wait three months from their conversion till their marriage in order to clearly distinguish between children born from pre-conversion and post-conversion marriages. (See the Midrash in Ruth Rahbah, end of chap. 3, which clearly states that she waited three months.) So on the sixteenth of Tammuz, Ruth went to the barn. Bo’az told her to wait for the next day for the other redeemer. The next day, on the seventeenth of Tammuz, they got married.

[9]  Artscroll Tanach on Bereshit.

[10]  The Rabbis understood that all references to months start with Tishrei until the Exodus when HaShem changed it. I have followed this same usage. Rosh Hashanah 11b. Note explanation in Artscroll Tanach - Genesis volume 1, page 249.

[11] אַרְבָּעִים יוֹם Forty days The first day is not included in this number because its night (i.e., the preceding night which is considered as the beginning of the following day) was not included with it, for it is written: [v. 11] “On that day all the wellsprings ... burst open” (Meaning literally during the daytime. Thus, during the first night there was no flood.).  Consequently, the forty days ended on the twenty-eighth day of Kislev according to R. Eliezer's [opinion] – [See verse 11. According to R. Yehoshua the forty days ended 28 Sivan], for when the months are counted regularly [then] one is complete and one deficient [the lunar month can have either 30 days---("complete") or 29 days--- ("deficient")], so, there are 12 days of Cheshvan (i.e., it rained 12 days in Cheshvan for it rained from the 17th of Cheshvan until the 29th) and 28 days of Kislev.

 

[12] Rashi’s Commentary on Joshua 2:1 And Joshua [the son of Nun]sent [two men out of Shittim to spy] Against my will I must say that he dispatched them during Moses’ mourning period, for after three days following the termination of Moses’ mourning period, they crossed the Jordan, for thence we deduced that Moses died on Adar 7 by counting back thirty-three days from the day they came up from the Jordan, namely, the tenth day of the first month. Now, of necessity, from the time the spies were dispatched, they did not cross the Jordan until the fifth day, as it is stated: and stayed there three days until the pursuers returned. On that night they crossed over and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and Joshua rose up early in the morning, and they moved from Shittim, here is a fourth day. And they lodged there before they crossed over. Hence, they did not cross until the fifth day.
