The current Jewish calendar, which balances lunar phases and solar cycles, sets the pace of life. Its elaborate rules orchestrate the addition of extra months and days, ensuring a harmonious alignment between celestial movements and earthly timekeeping. All the features of this modern calendar are thought to have been fully adopted sometime between the first century C.E. and 1178 C.E. The ancient calendar we'll explore doesn't follow this familiar pattern. It offers a glimpse into a different approach to measuring time.
