"Re: Myra (28 July
2011) "Gerlinda Jewish calendar year""
Hi Myra, I happened to read this one
paragraph below from an article and recalled exactly when this
happened. We had just returned from a trip to
Israel. It was in our year, Oct. 2004 but for Israel, it
was their year 5765, because their New Year had happened and
they went from 5764 to 5765. We always share the same year
until Israel has it's New Year 3 months before we have
ours. So, instead of us thinking Israel is behind our
year, they are the same right now but on Rosh haShanah, they
will jump into 2012. I also asked a friend who
traveled to Israel with me and she agrees but she will
email her friend there and get confirmation. I
don't know what this means for you and if it causes a change in
some calculation but hope it helps you clear things
up. I believe your information is a year
behind in it's post.
Early in the night of the first of the two millennial days of
the era of Moshiachthe Sanhedrin was disbanded. A little more
than two years ago (Tishrei 5765/October 2004) it was
re-establishedhowever tentatively. Spiritual and cultural plates
are shifting…

"Gerlinda Jewish calendar year"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Gerlinda I too wish I could ask someone Jewish
directly. HoweverI did find a Jewish websiteand it
shows this year on the Jewish calendar as 5771which on our
calendar is 2010. Rosh Hashanah will occur on the
following days of the Gregorian calendar: Jewish year 5772
sunset Sept. 282011 - nightfall Sept. 302011.
So according to thisthey are still in the year 2010 until Sept.
of this year.
