The Jewish Calendar

I’ve had a hard time finding a good summary of the Jewish calendar based on our modern calendar, and finally found one!

Back in the early 1990s, I was attending church at Kettering, and for class we were given Halley’s Bible Handbook. The 1994 version of the book I have shows how months match up. Hope it help you out!
