Looking for a good Jewish calendar?
As Abraham Joshua Heschel wrote, Judaism is focused on time, not space. Jews have been around for quite some
time, a few thousand years now, and in a variety of places. Yes, we do face Israel when we pray; and within Israel, we face Jerusalem; and within Jerusalem, the Temple Mount. But the defining aspect of Jewish prayer is not spatial. Indeed, the calendar determines what prayers are to be said on a given day. Is it Shabbat or weekday? Rosh Chodesh (the new moon)? Has the time for reciting Shma passed? Is it a festival? Is it a day on which we say Tachanun or not? And so on. In fact, Judaism is so time-based that shul gabbais (or rabbis) use a special calendar called a luach to keep straight the answers to all of these questions.What better way to focus, Jewishly, on time than with a Jewish calendar? Have a look below at our selection of Jewish calendars, including beautiful calendars from Jewish museums, practical wall calendars, multi-year calendars and Jewish children's calendars here, plus Jewish calendar software.
