Ancient Hebrew vs Modern Jewish Calendar Comparisons
|
|
We do not use Babylonian names,
such as Nissan or Tammuz, for the new moons
(months). Instead, we use numbers, i.e., Chodesh Rishon
(First New Moon) (first month), as are used in the Torah and the Old
Testament.
We consider the date of
creation, based on biblical creation timelines, to be 7520 years ago instead of
5781 years ago. One of our magazine articles examines and explains the Scriptural Creation Timeline.
We do not include additional holy days to account for travel by people who might be
in diaspora. We strictly adhere to the
Scriptural time-periods and give no special considerations for travel time as
they gave none in ancient times.
We put the new moon’s and
all holy days on the calendar on their exact date, we make no adjustments to
prevent them from falling on Shabbat (the
Sabbath).
Our new moon festivity
durations are 1-day events, never 2-day events.
Our calendar does not
include any holy days that are not explicitly ordained as such in the
Scriptures like: Hanukah, Purim, Second Passover, Lag B’ Omer, the Three Weeks or the
15th of Av.
We do not refer to the holy day
of Yom Teruah as Rosh Hashana (Head of the Year,
New Year’s Day). We use the Chodesh Rishon (First
New Moon) (1st month) of the year Aviv (the month of Spring) as stated in the Torah and in Exodus 12:1-2
as the Head of the Months (start of the year).
· There are no
predetermined number of days in each month on the Ancient Hebrew Calendar. The
month is based on the actual duration from one new moon to the next new moon.
