Emor and the Jewish calendar
in parashah Emor we read about the special times of year on the Jewish calendar
First it discusses Shabbat. Next is Passover, in the Hebrew month of Nissan.
Next is the Counting of the Omer, which begins on Passover and counts down until Shavuot. The fiftieth day of the Omer is the festival of Shavuot.
Next comes Rosh Hashanah, the "head of the year" on the first day of Tishrei.
Ten days later is the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. Next is Sukkot.
We made a Jewish festivals wheel
