A new month was started when the new moon was first * observed. * * It is not clear when the current rule based calendar replaced the * observation based calendar. According to the book "Jewish Calendar * Mystery Dispelled" by George Zinberg, the patriarch Hillel II * published these rules in 358 A.D. But, according to The * Encyclopedia Judaica, Hillel II may have only published the 19 year * rule for determining the occurrence of leap years. * * I have yet to find a specific date when the current set of rules * were known to be in use. * * CALENDAR OVERVIEW * * The Jewish calendar is based on lunar as well as solar cycles. A * month always starts on or near a new moon and has either 29 or 30 * days (a lunar cycle is about 29 1/2 days). Twelve of these * alternating 29-30 day months gives a year of 354 days, which is * about 11 1/4 days short of a solar year. * * Since a month is defined to be a lunar cycle (new moon to new moon), * this 11 1/4 day difference cannot be overcome by adding days to a * month as with the Gregorian calendar, so an entire month is * periodically added to the year, making some years 13 months long. * * For astronomical as well as ceremonial reasons, the start of a new * year may be delayed until a day or two after the new moon causing * years to vary in length. Leap years can be from 383 to 385 days and * common years can be from 353 to 355 days. These are the months of * the year and their possible lengths: * * COMMON YEAR LEAP YEAR * 1 Tishri 30 30 30 30 30 30 * 2 Heshvan 29 29 30 29 29 30 (variable) * 3 Kislev 29 30 30 29 30 30 (variable) * 4 Tevet 29 29 29 29 29 29 * 5 Shevat 30 30 30 30 30 30 * 6 Adar I -- -- -- 30 30 30 (optional) * 7 Adar (II) 29 29 29 29 29 29 * 8 Nisan 30 30 30 30 30 30 * 9 Iyyar 29 29 29 29 29 29 * 10 Sivan 30 30 30 30 30 30 * 11 Tammuz 29 29 29 29 29 29 * 12 Av 30 30 30 30 30 30 * 13 Elul 29 29 29 29 29 29 * --- --- --- --- --- --- * 353 354 355 383 384 385 * * Note that the month names and other words that appear in this file * have multiple possible spellings in the Roman character set. I have * chosen to use the spellings found in the Encyclopedia Judaica. * * Adar I, the month added for leap years, is sometimes referred to as * the 13th month, but I have chosen to assign it the number 6 to keep * the months in chronological order. This may not be consistent with * other numbering schemes. * * Leap years occur in a fixed pattern of 19 years called the metonic * cycle. The 3rd, 6th, 8th, 11th, 14th, 17th and 19th years of this * cycle are leap years. The first metonic cycle starts with Jewish * year 1, or 3761/60 B.C. This is believed to be the year of * creation. * * To construct the calendar for a year, you must first find the length * of the year by determining the first day of the year (Tishri 1, or * Rosh Ha-Shanah) and the first day of the following year. This * selects one of the six possible month length configurations listed * above. * * Finding the first day of the year is the most difficult part. * Finding the date and time of the new moon (or molad) is the first * step. For this purpose, the lunar cycle is assumed to be 29 days 12 * hours and 793 halakim. A halakim is 1/1080th of an hour or 3 1/3 * seconds. (This assumed value is only about 1/2 second less than the * value used by modern astronomers -- not bad for a number that was * determined so long ago.) The first molad of year 1 occurred on * Sunday at 11:20:11 P.M. This would actually be Monday, because the * Jewish day is considered to begin at sunset. * * Since sunset varies, the day is assumed to begin at 6:00 P.M. for * calendar calculation purposes. So, the first molad was 5 hours 793 * halakim after the start of Tishri 1, 0001 (which was Monday * September 7, 4761 B.C. by the Gregorian calendar). All subsequent * molads can be calculated from this starting point by adding the * length of a lunar cycle. * * Once the molad that starts a year is determined the actual start of * the year (Tishri 1) can be determined. Tishri 1 will be the day of * the molad unless it is delayed by one of the following four rules * (called dehiyyot). Each rule can delay the start of the year by one * day, and since rule #1 can combine with one of the other rules, it * can be delayed as much as two days. * * 1. Tishri 1 must never be Sunday, Wednesday or Friday. (This * is largely to prevent certain holidays from occurring on the * day before or after the Sabbath.) * * 2. If the molad occurs on or after noon, Tishri 1 must be * delayed. * * 3. If it is a common (not leap) year and the molad occurs on * Tuesday at or after 3:11:20 A.M., Tishri 1 must be delayed. * * 4. If it is the year following a leap year and the molad occurs * on Monday at or after 9:32:43 and 1/3 sec, Tishri 1 must be * delayed. * * GLOSSARY * * dehiyyot The set of 4 rules that determine when the new year * starts relative to the molad. * * halakim 1/1080th of an hour or 3 1/3 seconds. * * lunar cycle The period of time between mean conjunctions of the * sun and moon (new moon to new moon). This is * assumed to be 29 days 12 hours and 793 halakim for * calendar purposes. * * metonic cycle A 19 year cycle which determines which years are * leap years and which are common years. The 3rd, * 6th, 8th, 11th, 14th, 17th and 19th years of this * cycle are leap years. * * molad The date and time of the mean conjunction of the * sun and moon (new moon). This is the approximate * beginning of a month. * * Rosh Ha-Shanah The first day of the Jewish year (Tishri 1). * * Tishri The first month of the Jewish year. * * ALGORITHMS * * SERIAL DAY NUMBER TO JEWISH DATE * * The simplest approach would be to use the rules stated above to find * the molad of Tishri before and after the given day number. Then use * the molads to find Tishri 1 of the current and following years. * From this the length of the year can be determined and thus the * length of each month. But this method is used as a last resort. * * The first 59 days of the year are the same regardless of the length * of the year. As a result, only the day number of the start of the * year is required. * * Similarly, the last 6 months do not change from year to year. And * since it can be determined whether the year is a leap year by simple * division, the lengths of Adar I and II can be easily calculated. In * fact, all dates after the 3rd month are consistent from year to year * (once it is known whether it is a leap year). * * This means that if the given day number falls in the 3rd month or on * the 30th day of the 2nd month the length of the year must be found, * but in no other case. * * So, the approach used is to take the given day number and round it * to the closest molad of Tishri (first new moon of the year). The * rounding is not really to the *closest* molad, but is such that if * the day number is before the middle of the 3rd month the molad at * the start of the year is found, otherwise the molad at the end of * the year is found. * * Only if the day number is actually found to be in the ambiguous * period of 29 to 31 days is the other molad calculated. * * JEWISH DATE TO SERIAL DAY NUMBER * * The year number is used to find which 19 year metonic cycle contains * the date and which year within the cycle (this is a division and * modulus). This also determines whether it is a leap year. * * If the month is 1 or 2, the calculation is simple addition to the * first of the year. * * If the month is 8 (Nisan) or greater, the calculation is simple * subtraction from beginning of the following year. * * If the month is 4 to 7, it is considered whether it is a leap year * and then simple subtraction from the beginning of the following year * is used. * * Only if it is the 3rd month is both the start and end of the year * required. * * TESTING * * This algorithm has been tested in two ways. First, 510 dates from a * table in "Jewish Calendar Mystery Dispelled" were calculated and * compared to the table. Second, the calculation algorithm described * in "Jewish Calendar Mystery Dispelled" was coded and used to verify * all dates from the year 1 (3761 B.C.) to the year 13760 (10000 * A.D.). * * The source code of the verification program is included in this * package. * * REFERENCES * * The Encyclopedia Judaica, the entry for "Calendar" * * The Jewish Encyclopedia * * Jewish Calendar Mystery Dispelled by George Zinberg, Vantage Press, * 1963 * * The Comprehensive Hebrew Calendar by Arthur Spier, Behrman House * * The Book of Calendars [note that this work contains many typos] * **************************************************************************/ #if defined(PHP_WIN32) #pragma setlocale("english") #endif #include "sdncal.h" #define HALAKIM_PER_HOUR 1080 #define HALAKIM_PER_DAY 25920 #define HALAKIM_PER_LUNAR_CYCLE ((29 * HALAKIM_PER_DAY) + 13753) #define HALAKIM_PER_METONIC_CYCLE (HALAKIM_PER_LUNAR_CYCLE * (12 * 19 + 7)) #define JEWISH_SDN_OFFSET 347997 #define JEWISH_SDN_MAX 324542846L /* 12/13/887605, greater value raises integer overflow */ #define NEW_MOON_OF_CREATION 31524 #define SUNDAY 0 #define MONDAY 1 #define TUESDAY 2 #define WEDNESDAY 3 #define THURSDAY 4 #define FRIDAY 5 #define SATURDAY 6 #define NOON (18 * HALAKIM_PER_HOUR) #define AM3_11_20 ((9 * HALAKIM_PER_HOUR) + 204) #define AM9_32_43 ((15 * HALAKIM_PER_HOUR) + 589) const int monthsPerYear[19] = { 12, 12, 13, 12, 12, 13, 12, 13, 12, 12, 13, 12, 12, 13, 12, 12, 13, 12, 13 }; static const int yearOffset[19] = { 0, 12, 24, 37, 49, 61, 74, 86, 99, 111, 123, 136, 148, 160, 173, 185, 197, 210, 222 }; /* names for leap (13-month) year */ const char * const JewishMonthNameLeap[14] = { "", "Tishri", "Heshvan", "Kislev", "Tevet", "Shevat", "Adar I", "Adar II", "Nisan", "Iyyar", "Sivan", "Tammuz", "Av", "Elul" }; /* names for regular year */ const char * const JewishMonthName[14] = { "", "Tishri", "Heshvan", "Kislev", "Tevet", "Shevat", "", "Adar", "Nisan", "Iyyar", "Sivan", "Tammuz", "Av", "Elul" }; /* names for leap (13-month) year */ const char * const JewishMonthHebNameLeap[14] = { "", "\xFA\xF9\xF8\xE9", "\xE7\xF9\xE5\xEF", "\xEB\xF1\xEC\xE5", "\xE8\xE1\xFA", "\xF9\xE1\xE8", "\xE0\xE3\xF8 \xE0'", "\xE0\xE3\xF8 \xE1'", "\xF0\xE9\xF1\xEF", "\xE0\xE9\xE9\xF8", "\xF1\xE9\xe5\xEF", "\xFA\xEE\xE5\xE6", "\xE0\xE1", "\xE0\xEC\xE5\xEC" }; /* names for regular year */ const char * const JewishMonthHebName[14] = { "", "\xFA\xF9\xF8\xE9", "\xE7\xF9\xE5\xEF", "\xEB\xF1\xEC\xE5", "\xE8\xE1\xFA", "\xF9\xE1\xE8", "", "\xE0\xE3\xF8", "\xF0\xE9\xF1\xEF", "\xE0\xE9\xE9\xF8", "\xF1\xE9\xE5\xEF", "\xFA\xEE\xE5\xE6", "\xE0\xE1", "\xE0\xEC\xE5\xEC" }; /************************************************************************ * Given the year within the 19 year metonic cycle and the time of a molad * (new moon) which starts that year, this routine will calculate what day * will be the actual start of the year (Tishri 1 or Rosh Ha-Shanah).
