2010 Holy Days
reference calendar
The annual Sabbaths are in red squares
and begin the evening before at dark.
We celebrate Hanuka and Purim at the same time that the traditional Jewish community does because both of these festivals aren’t holy days or times, but holidays. Therefore, there’s no biblical need to have their dates line up with the new moon sightings. |
