The Comprehensive Hebrew Calendar, Revised Seventy Year Edition

Suppose you have to make advance plans and want to know the Jewish Holidays occur in years to come.  This book can help you plan for the next 20 years.  

A boy in the family is approaching his 13th birthday, and the bar mitzvah celebration has to be planned.  You know his birthday, of course – but only the civil date, on the regular calendar.  But a boy becomes bar mitzvah when he turns 13 on the Hebrew calendar.  You need to know his Hebrew date of birth.

How do you find that out?

This book makes it easy.  Here you have a Hebrew-civil calendar that is arranged with a pleasantly surprising logical siplicity.  It will tell you the boy’s Hebrew birthday, and the Torah portion to be read on the bar mitzvah Sabbath, and the haftarah as well.

The same kind of problem can be met when a Yahrzeit (the anniversary of a beloved relative’s death) has to be observed.  Here again the Hebrew date has to be known. And for this too you won’t find an easier place than this book to get the answer.
