Hello, John and Doves,

 

For what it's worth...

 

July 4, 1776 was 17 Tammuz 5536--the Fast of Tammuz.

 

Since God goes by the Jewish calendar, 234 lunar-solar years would bring us to 17 Tammuz 5770--June 29, 2010.

 

Now, 5771 is a Jewish leap year, so 17 Tammuz 5771 falls on July 19, 2011.

 

On the other hand, 365 days from 1 Av 5770--July 12, 2010 is 10 Tammuz 5771--Tuesday, July 12, 2011.

 

 

Baruch HaShem Adonai,

Mike C.
