DateTime::Calendar::Hebrew is the implementation of the Hebrew calendar. Read
|
||
|
|
on for more details on the Hebrew calendar.

|
The Hebrew/Jewish calendar is a Luni-Solar calendar. Torah Law mandates that
|
||
|
|
months are Lunar. The first day of a month coincides with the new moon in
|
||
|
|
Jerusalem. (In ancient times, this was determined by witnesses. Read the books
|
||
|
|
in the bibliography for more info). The Torah also mandates that certain
|
||
|
|
holidays must occur in certain seasons. Seasons are solar, so a calendar that
|
||
|
|
can work with lunar & solar events is needed.
