Yossi, I am quite honored to be given the title "guru", but I'm not quite sure I deserve it. We have a Calendar Calculator on our website <http://www.library.yale.edu/cataloging/hebraicateam/Calendar/calculator.htm > but it was written by a person named Rafi Stern, and not myself. I merely embedded it into our website. It's a great source for looking up such information, however. Another great source for looking up such information would be the Interactive Hebrew Calendar on <http://www.hebcal.com>. Neither of these resources allows you to directly input the Parashat ha-Shavu'ah and the Hebrew year so as to get the Gregorian day, but that information is easily obtained by going month to month once you have obtained the Hebrew calendar for a given Gregorian year.

I had the problem a short time ago and was looking for a Hebrew calendar that would translate the Parashat ha-shavua to a Gregorian date. I had a book in which the Haskamah was dated by the name of the Parashah and year and I needed it to determine the Gregorian year of publication. I could not find any calendar in which you can input the Parashah and year and get a Gregorian date. Does any one about such a program? If not, maybe we can ask our Gurus at Yale to write such a program? :-) Yossi At 04:18 PM 3/24/2004, you wrote: Heb-NACOers, For those of you who catalog serials, would the parashat ha-shavua indicate a chronological designation? We have a weekly numbered publication that has the title of the weekly parashah on each issue. In a way it seems to act like a chronological designation since the parashah comes at a specific week in the Hebrew calendar. Any thoughts on this? Thanks for your help. Caroline Caroline R.
