when

Some significant dates:

Sto­ries about these dates will appear in the blog as time per­mits. Most dates list­ed here use the Gre­go­ri­an cal­en­dar, though I enjoy using, and liv­ing by, the Hebrew cal­en­dar as much as pos­si­ble. I do this not out of “nation­al­ist” or “parochial” inter­ests, though I’m cer­tain they play some role. Rather, I do this because I like feel­ing both the solar and the lunar cycles in my life.

Some use­ful Hebrew cal­en­dar tools on the Web

• Hebrew Date Converter
• Kalu­achJS — Abu Mami’s Javascript Hebrew Calendar
• The Cal­en­dar of the Jew­ish Peo­ple (The site needs updat­ing and the users need to register.)

An Islam­ic to Chris­t­ian cal­en­dar con­vert­er. Note that they use “Chris­t­ian” and not “Gre­go­ri­an”. With the tools above, it’s a two-step process to con­vert a date from the Hebrew cal­en­dar to the Islam­ic calendar.
