Jewish Hebrew Calendar
We recognize the monthly lunar calendar as traditon in the biblical community. Therefore, we celebrate the
new moon festival and full moon festival by physically observing the lunar cycle. Each Jewish month begins on
the new moon cycle, therefore, a Jewish month may begin in a partial month of the Georgian calendar but all
holiday will be in the appropriate season of the calendar year.
