I am not sure what this means. All of the Jewish holidays move on the civil calendar year to year. However, since every time the calendar includes an additional month (a second Adar) the month is inserted before Pesach; therefore the holidays which fall after that time do not move *relative to Pesach* but they do move on the civil calendar. > > 2.

There is. Yom Hatzmaut, Yom HaShoah, Yom Hazikaron, Yom Yerushalayim are all Israeli (civil) holidays not connected to the Jewish religion. > > So we either need to remove Yom Yerushalayim for the same reason, > > or add back Yom HaAtzmaut, and add Yom HaShoah and Yom Hazikaron. > > Doesn't matter to me either way.

I can help with this. Contact me offline with any questions. In the diff below I see some conflicts in terms of transliteration. There are two main communities of Jews and the transliterations below do not align with either one in all cases. /jl > > jmc > > > Index: calendar.judaic > > ================================================================== > > = > > RCS file: /cvs/src/usr.bin/calendar/calendars/calendar.judaic,v > > retrieving revision 1.5 > > diff -u -p -r1.5 calendar.judaic > > --- calendar.judaic 6 Sep 2005 23:42:59 -0000 1.5 > > +++ calendar.judaic 12 Nov 2018 00:11:04 -0000 > > @@ -7,7 +7,7 @@ > > #ifndef _calendar_judaic_ > > #define _calendar_judaic_ > > > > -Pesach+163 First Day of Rosh Hashanah (Jewish Lunar New Year; > > 5741 == 1980; > > +Pesach+163 First Day of Rosh Hashanah (Jewish Lunar New Year; > > 5779 == 2018; > > sabbatical) > > Pesach+164 Rosh Hashanah (sabbatical) > > Pesach+166 Fast of Gedalya (Murder of Gedalya and subsequent > > Exile; fast day) > > @@ -17,8 +17,9 @@ Pesach+179 Succot (sabbatical) > > Pesach+184 Hoshanah Rabba (7th day of Succos) > > Pesach+185 Shmini Atzeres (8th Day of Gathering; sabbatical) > > Pesach+186 Shmini Atzeres/Simchas Torah (Rejoicing of the Law; > > sabbatical) > > -12/12* First Day of Chanukah > > -12/27* Fast of Asara B'Tevet (Babylonians put siege on > > Jerusalem; fast day) > > +12/03* First Day of Chanukah > > +12/18* Fast of Asara B'Tevet (Babylonians put siege on > > Jerusalem; fast day) > > +01/20* Tu B'Shevat (New Year of the Trees) > > Pesach-31 Fast of Esther (Battle of Purim; fast day) > > Pesach-30 Purim (Feast of Lots) > > Pesach-29 Purim (Feast of Lots) > > @@ -27,10 +28,10 @@ Pesach+1 Pesach (sabbatical) > > Pesach+6 Pesach (sabbatical) > > Pesach+7 Pesach (Last Day of Passover; 8th day of Pesach; > > sabbatical) > > Pesach+34 Lag Ba`omer (Commemoration of the Great Rebellion) > > -05/22* Yom Yerushalayim (Reunification of Jerusalem) > > +06/01* Yom Yerushalayim (Reunification of Jerusalem) > > Pesach+50 Shavuot (Festival of Weeks; sabbatical) > > Pesach+51 Shavuot (Festival of Weeks; sabbatical) > > -07/10* Fast of Shiv'a Asar B'Tammuz (Romans breach Wall of > > Jerusalem; fast day) > > +07/21* Fast of Shiv'a Asar B'Tammuz (Romans breach Wall of > > Jerusalem; fast day) > > Pesach+81 Fast of Tish'a B'Av (Babylon destroys Holy Temple; > > fast day) > > > > #endif /* !_calendar_judaic_ */ > > > >
