ABOUT THE JEWISH AND CHRITIAN LITURGICAL CALENDAR. The Jewish Calendar of Liturgical Readings. The dates of the Jewish Festivals, Holy Days and Rosh Chodesh (New Moon) refl ect the dates determined for the Jewish Years, 5781–5782. Rosh Chodesh is celebrated on the fi rst day of each new (Jewish) month. When a month has 30 days Rosh Chodesh is celebrated over two days—the thirtieth day of the month is celebrated as the fi rst day of Rosh Chodesh and the actual fi rst day of the new month is celebrated as the second day of Rosh Chodesh. Dates for the lunar phases for 2018-2019 are based on Jerusalem Time. The Parashat Hashavuah (the Weekly Portion from the Torah) of the Jewish liturgical cycle follows an Annual Cycle of Torah Readings. The Haftarah (the Prophetical) readings follow the Ashkenazi tradition. Where readings vary for the Sephardic tradition the variant readings are given in brackets. The Christian Calendar of Liturgical Readings follows the Ordo Lectionum Missae (1981). Biblical references used are from the New American (NAB). Other translations may vary slightly (e.g., NRSV, KJV, NIV)—variations in versifi cation and numbering may occur, particularly with the , depending upon the sources used for bible translations (Vulgate, Neo-Vulgate, Greek or Hebrew). Feasts, Memorials and Holy Days follow the General Calendar of the Roman Rite with some additional inclusions of and Memorials according to different National Calendars. Christian denominations that follow the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL) will note some variations in readings and /or verses from those given in this calendar. All readings, including citations of readings for congregations following the RCL, are available online at www.etz-hayim.com.

A glossary of terms used in this calendar (Christian and Jewish) is available on the Etz Hayim—“Tree of Life” web site: www.etz-hayim. com. Color key: Red = Christian; Blue = Jewish; RED, SMALL UPPER CASE = Commemorations observed by the Association of Hebrew Catholics (AHC). “Rabbi Kook says, Start by improving the future, then set out to correct the accessible things from the past. This will set in motion a snowball of t’shuva whose momentum and Divine blessing will lead to addressing more diffi cult matters until one can make amends for all wrongs.” —Orot HaT’shuva September 2020 SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY 12345Elul 12 Elul 13 Elul 14 Elul 15 Elul 16 Full Moon
