(Tammuz and Av) to balance the 2 months of 29 days (Iyar and Sivan). This delay also has the effect of giving 

Elul 29 days and Tishri 30 days, which was probably the preferred configuration, even at that early date, and 

became the rule eventually adopted for the modern Jewish calendar.

 The start of the months of Heshvan, Kislev, and Tevet were delayed a day from their date by calculation 

alone. Heshvan could have begun on Nov. 7 of 

A.D.

 17 (new moon at 11:00 hours JST that day; solar transit 

at 11:26 hours), but seems to have been delayed until Nov. 8, giving Tishri 30 days, instead of 29. The delay 

may have been because the new moon was so close to solar transit (noon sun time). In any case, a one day 

delay in the start of a month is not unusual in the Jewish calendar. This conclusion fits the information given 

by Blessed Anne Catherine about the dates and days of the week for Hanukah, namely, that Hanukkah that 

began and ended (Kislev 25 and Tevet 2) on the Jewish Sabbath.
