A PDF Jewish calendar

[xiphias]

This 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.

I'm not Jewish, but I certainly appreciate the cleverness and usefulness of this calendar.

That there is a most excellent thing. Link yoinked and passed on to a member of the local congregation. Thank you.

Very interesting. I find it way too busy to be followable, but I like the idea (and may try my own variant on it).

In the meantime, there's always The Ezras Torah Luach.

That's wonderful. Thank you for the link.

Thank you so much. This is perfect for what I've been looking for. I wonder if there is anyway to add some color (aside from printing it on colorful paper...now has to go in search of colorful paper...)
