given the importance in jewish ritual of establishing the accurate timing of monthly and annual times, some futurist writers and researchers have considered whether a "corrected" system of establishing the hebrew date is required. the mean year of the current mathematically based hebrew calendar has "drifted" an average of 7–8 days late relative to the equinox relationship that it originally had. it is not possible, however, for any individual hebrew date to be a week or more "late", because hebrew months always begin within a day or two of the "molad" moment. what happens instead is that the traditional hebrew calendar "prematurely" inserts a leap month one year before it "should have been" inserted, where "prematurely" means that the insertion causes the spring equinox to land more than 30 days before the latest acceptable moment, thus causing the calendar to run "one month late" until the time when the leap month "should have been" inserted prior to the following spring. this presently happens in 4 years out of every 19-year cycle (years 3, 8, 11, and 19), implying that the hebrew calendar currently runs "one month late" more than 21% of the time.
