meeting: Wednesday June 4, 2008
in the Main Auditorium of Menorah Park The
Jewish Calendar Demystified
Stephen P. Morse This talk presents the Hebrew calendar in an easy-to-understand -- and sometimes tongue-in-cheek -- fashion. The aim is …to give you an appreciation for what's involved in such calculations. Topics covered include the 19-year calendar cycle, the origin of time, errors in the Jewish and secular calendars, and the use of Hebrew letters to represent dates on tombstones. Check out www.stevemorse.org and see what he has made available on the Hebrew calendar. more ... What's new on this website Our list of genealogy
and other resources, local and general, has been expanded from
two pages to four and reorganized. The Dachau
List now has all 2,800 plus entries in a single searchable
document. Shown at the
left is the Mayfield Cemetery headstone of
Simpson Thorman (1811 - 1881), Cleveland's first Jewish settler. It is
one of
almost 800 grave marker photos taken
there by member Wendy Lang and
available for viewing on this site. To see them,
