Jewish Yearly Calendar

Jewish Yearly Calendar. The year 5708 (and every jewish year) was figured by commencing the count from the beginning of genesis. Major, minor & modern holidays, rosh chodesh, minor fasts, special shabbatot.

The jews of baghdad, who had suffered under the shah’s tenure, celebrated this day each year to praise g‑d for rescuing them from persian rule. The jewish or hebrew calendar is a lunisolar calendar created and used by the hebrew people—it’s “lunar” in that every month follows the phases of the moon, and “solar”.
