Jewish calendar.

Thanks!

eii!...."Jewish year is not the same length as a solar year" that's confusing!

Why do they have leap years if the Jewish year is not the same length as a solar year anyway? :hmm:

just for the fun of pedantism:
No Christian Churches celebrate Fathers & Mothers day technically. I don't know about the roots of Father's Day, but we didn't have it when I was young and Mothers day is a derivative of Mothering Sunday which is originally about returning to your "mother Church" and nothing to do with your biological mother. (IIRC, I am no Christian myself)
