I’m trying to clarify something, does the Hebrew sacred calendar year begin this year on April 23, 2005 (Nisan 14 the PASSOVER)? If it does shouldn’t it be called Nisan 1?
 

Cindy - I feel very very dense about this whole calendar thing this year, and if indeed the Jewish Passover starts on the eve of April 23,,,then wouldn't their year of Nisan begin 14 days earlier, that is, April 9?? , in that the Passover is the 14th, of Nisan, then the 1st of Nisan would be 14 days earlier than our April 23?

I am in way over my head here,,,,,,back to canning the apple jelly.
