Description: This book explores the complex timeline of Jewish history, from the era before Moses to the era after Hillel II. Before the time of Moses, the Jewish people primarily followed an agricultural calendar that revolved around seasonal events such as harvests. After Moses, a lunar calendar was adopted to regulate religious festivals. However, the Jewish calendar still drifted relative to the solar year, which occasionally required the insertion of an extra month to maintain alignment. The author traces the emergence of a fixed Jewish calendar through the work of generations of scholars and scribes, discussing the challenges they faced in reconciling religious tradition with astronomical observation. The book concludes by highlighting the significance of the Jewish calendar as a cornerstone of Jewish religious life and identity.
