A PDF Jewish calendar
Sep. 2nd, 2009 03:49 pmThis person couldn't find the Jewish calendar he or she wanted. So made it.
There are a few spelling errors here and there in the Hebrew, but nothing serious, and it's a really good idea. My "Jewish calendar" that I have on the wall is actually a Gregorian calendar with Jewish dates put in in the corners. This one is actually a Jewish calendar, with Gregorian dates put in. (There are two different versions; one has the US holidays as well). Every month shows the lunar cycle.
And . . . it includes on the OTHER half of each page some of the brachot that you're likely to need unexpectedly -- meeting a friend after not seeing them for over a year, seeing a rainbow, seeing an unusually beautiful person, hearing good news, hearing bad news -- that sort of thing.
It DOES include some variations of G-d's name for the brachot, so if you print it out, treat it with respect. It's designed to be printed out and carried with you -- the cover page is a separate file, so you can print it on cardstock or the like, to keep the whole thing together.
It's designed to be printed double-sided -- if you do it that way, and then fold the pages in half, the months are sequential, and then the brachot are sequential after them.
