Why the Zadok Priestly Calendar?
If you are keeping the Lunisolar Hebrew calendar in which each month starts with a new moon and a 13th month is sometimes added, I applaud your desire and commitment. I have kept and promoted this calendar for nearly 20 years.
In 2024, I faced confusion with the calendar. Some believers and congregations added a 13th month to accommodate the ripening of the barley in Israel, some did not.
That put Messianic congregations a month apart in their feast observances. Also, the actual sighting of the first sliver of the new moon (which determines when a new month starts) did not line up with what was calculated on the calendar I was using, which further threw off the dates of the feasts and rosh chodesh (head of the month) observances.
So, I redoubled my efforts. (more…)
