what is the ninth month in the jewish calendar
Kislev Kislev (Hebrew: כִּסְלֵו, Standard Kislev Tiberian Kislēw; also Chislev[1]) is the third month of the civil year and the ninth month of the ecclesiastical year on the Hebrew calendar.
Hebrew calendar The Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah) is a two-day public holiday in Israel. However, since the 1980s an increasing number of secular Israelis celebrate the Gregorian New Year (usually known as "Silvester Night"—"ליל סילבסטר") on the night between 31 December and 1 January. Prominent rabbis have on several occasions sharply denounced this practice, but with no noticeable effect on the secularist celebrants.[79]
Twelve Tribes of Israel Deuteronomy 33:6–25 and Judges 5:14–18 present parallel listings of the twelve tribes:
Hebrew calendar The Jewish calendar is based on the Metonic cycle of 19 years, of which 12 are common (non-leap) years of 12 months and 7 are leap years of 13 months. To determine whether a Jewish year is a leap year, one must find its position in the 19-year Metonic cycle. This position is calculated by dividing the Jewish year number by 19 and finding the remainder. For example, the Jewish year 5778 divided by 19 results in a remainder of 2, indicating that it is year 2 of the Metonic cycle. Since there is no year 0, a remainder of 0 indicates that the year is year 19 of the cycle.[43]
