The link at the end of this message contains our calendar for the year 2024 to 2025, which corresponds to the Hebrew date 5785. The Israelite Board of Rabbis provides this as a free service to our community. It is the only calendar that follows the Torah readings in Israel, where holy days are not typically observed for two days. For many Israelites, it is very important that we not alter God’s word by adding days to the festivals as written in the Torah. This calendar is also unique because it is the only calendar that marks the Yarzeit dates of our leaders and contains beautiful pictures from our history on every page. At the end, I placed the updated list of names that should be recited when saying the Yizkor prayers.
