I am not quite sure I am following, but I understand that after updating your calendar using the method you provided you are trying to submit the current date back to the server whenever a user clicks to change the month? To understand what's going what's going on I would have to see your calendar partial and how you are trying to submit the date. For now I can only say that of course javascript can not access a ruby variable directly. You can use ruby/erb to generate javascript and thus indirectly pass ruby variables.
