The solar (sabbatical) calendar


Calendar

Overview

The solar calendar was made of 364 days (360+4), or 52 weeks.

Each month has 30+1 days.

Each seasons has 91 days, or 13 weeks.

Because there is discrepancy between the solar year (365 days) and the calendrical year, a week (or more weeks) were added, when necessary.

Yom Kippur was the Major festival as the Holiest Person (the High Priest) enters the holiest place in the Temple in the holiest day of the year. The universe regains its balance and has a new beginning, Therefore sins are forgiven and evil is erased.
