I looked at it and there is no revelation there, the code is just an
implementation of Gauss's Pesach algorithm, as it says. From that,
with an understanding of how the years are laid out along with some
basic math and in some cases specific rules for various fasts that
can't fall on Shabbes, etc. it's possible to write code that works
forever i.e. does not need to be changed every year.

You said the calendar has to be changed every year and is based on
western [civil] dates, so it's clear whoever is maintaing it doesn't
understand our calendar.

I'm qualified to correct issues with the transliterations and I
pointed out several inconsistencies earlier, and also to differentiate
between Jewish and civil holidays. When you translate these holidays
into English and if you want to include both major communities
(Ashkenaz and Sephard) you will have to have two sets of
transliterations. There is a third significant community (Yemenite)
but an English transliteration according to the Sephardi community
would be acceptable to them.

We use our calendar daily. In addition to info about when holidays
occur, we also have to know how the various times work out each day of
the year for religious observances during the day. So any useful
Jewish calendar necessarily includes things like astronomical
sunrise/sunset by geographic location and based on legal rulings over
history in each place where there was a Jewish community. We also need
to know about other times of the day derived from the length of the
daylight period as the days get longer and shorter. We have many
obligations and prohibitions based on the day of the year and time of
day. So we have a vital interest in understanding the calendar as it
was calculated and ratified thousands of years ago and it is in use
until now because to us it is actually relevant in our lives day by
day, hour by hour.

If you would like to see an example of what a Jewish calendar looks
like I can send you a couple of snapshots of the one I use. It is
really excellent and has a section explaining the various legal
opinions as well as providing the times based on those calculations.

This diff does the following:

which
on

I am not sure what this means. All of the Jewish holidays move on
the
civil calendar year to year. However, since every time the
calendar
includes an additional month (a second Adar) the month is inserted
before Pesach; therefore the holidays which fall after that time
do
not move *relative to Pesach* but they do move on the civil
calendar.

What are you talking about? This is in reference to the code in
calendar(1) that sets the dates for the Judaic calendar. If you
think
there's something wrong there, I await your patch to
usr.bin/calendar/pesach.c


I haven't seen the code. I responded to the comment that "days are not
connected to Pesach." All Jewish holidays are connected to Pesach, it
is one of the points from which years are calculated. And my statement
above and the explanation how it works is correct as I wrote it.

So what are you talking about? Exactly what did I write that you are

If you haven't read pesach.c or the calendar.judaic code, then you can't 
be helped because it is obvious from a quick glance at the code that 
some of the dates on calendar.judaic are listed as Westernized dates

Yes, I know how the Hebrew calendar works. mickey@'s calculation is
actually quite nice IMO.

2. Add the holidays that are explicitly mentioned on the
Wikipedia
page of Jewish holidays, which adds Tu B'Shevat to our
calendar.
3. Replace the year marker on Rosh Hashana with the current
Jewish
year (5741 => 5779). This calendar has to be updated yearly as
it
is anyway, so it seems odd to me not to put the current year
if
we're going to list a year in connection with Rosh Hashanah.

It looks like mickey@ removed Yom HaAtzmaut some years ago due
to
the understanding that this be a religious and not secular
calendar. Which is a perfectly legitimate stance, as there is
no
universal yes or no as to whether or not the Israeli
rememberance
holidays are religious holidays, both in Israel and in the
dispora.

There is. Yom Hatzmaut, Yom HaShoah, Yom Hazikaron, Yom
Yerushalayim
are all Israeli (civil) holidays not connected to the Jewish
religion.


Reform Judaism and Conservative Judaism (in the US, at least) both
treat
Yom HaShoah as a religious holiday, with both crafting prayers
specifically for the holiday and with Conservative Judaism writing a
new
liturgy for the day.

If the calendar we are talking about is supposed to be representative
of mainstream Jewish belief and practice which has remained the same
for the past 3,500 years then those demominations will need their own
calendars.


This is considered so "common knowledge" that Wikipedia has a whole
section on it:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_HaShoah#Religious_observances_and_liturgy

This is no proof of anything except activism which isn't
representative of the Jewish religion.


Additionally, there is no reason that calendar.judaic cannot be both
a
religious and secular calendar. mickey@ clearly had reasons for
preferring to it to be religious only but I can't go ask him his
reasoning for it. So my question is whether or not people prefer
one
over the other. I slightly prefer it to be both religious and
secular
but I care more about the dates being maintained so am willing to
go
either way.

I have no preference either, since I don't use it, rather I use
calendars from reliable sources and I have also written my own which
aligns with those. Again, I was responding to what Jason wrote.

Regardless, some of the holidays mentioned are Jewish, some are
Israeli. There is no overlap.


So we either need to remove Yom Yerushalayim for the same
reason,
or add back Yom HaAtzmaut, and add Yom HaShoah and Yom
Hazikaron.
Doesn't matter to me either way. It might be nice to include
Yom
HaShoah in either event, as it is likely to become a universal
Jewish religious holiday within our lifetimes.

That is absolutely not true. No major religious authority has ever
recognized any of the Israeli civil holidays.


This again is so not true that Wikipedia has a section on it:

morning.

if you're willing to do the work, i say go for it. i don;t have
enough
knowledge about dates/holidays to provide any useful feedback.

if you have any opinion on the .christian diff, please do reply. i'm
about to as well, but again i just don;t have the knowledge to deal
with this.

I can help with this. Contact me offline with any questions.

In the diff below I see some conflicts in terms of transliteration.
There are two main communities of Jews and the transliterations below
do not align with either one in all cases.


Honestly, the transliterations are fine. I'll write them all in Yiddish 
though if you have concerns.

morning.

if you're willing to do the work, i say go for it. i don;t have enough
