Program: Jewish
Calendar Demystified, by Stephen
Morse
The
Jewish calendar is important to genealogists because Jewish vital
records use the Jewish dates. This includes not only birth,
marriage, and death certificates, but tombstone inscriptions as well.
The Jewish calendar is both a solar and lunar calendar. As
such, the rules governing the calendar can be a bit daunting.
This talk presents the calendar in an easy-to-understand fashion.
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.
Stephen
Morse is the creator of the One-Step Website for which he has
received both the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Outstanding
Contribution Award from the International Association of Jewish
Genealogical Societies, Award of Merit from the National Genealogical
Society, first-ever Excellence Award from the Association of
Professional Genealogists, and two awards that he cannot pronounce
from Polish genealogical societies.
Seating is limited.
