A Small Step to the Moon but a Giant Leap in Undertsanding of the Jewish Calendar of its Day – A talk by Barbara Moont
The Earth goes around the sun every year and the moon goes around the earth every month. The Jewish calendar is based on both of these rotations. Around the year 350, Hillel HaNasi started the Jewish calendar of today. His accuracy was not equaled by the Western calendar for another 1000 years.
Barbara will explain the history of the Jewish calendar. She will also talk about the moon landings starting in 1969, when she worked on the Apollo project.
