The \u201c<em>hey chof<\/em>\u201d on the bottom left of the first chart is the <em>kvius hashanah<\/em> for this past year, the 18<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0year of the 19-year cycle and <em>shanah peshutah<\/em> (none-leap year). Note the \u201c<em>hey chof<\/em>\u201d column in the second chart. <em>Rosh Chodesh Elul<\/em> (circled) is on <em>Shabbos<\/em> and\u00a0Sunday. That was this past Rosh Chodesh. This coming year, the 19<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0year and a leap year, has a triangle around it. Note the \u201c<em>bais shin<\/em>\u201d and how on the second chart it indicates that this coming <em>Rosh Hashanah<\/em> will be\u00a0on Monday\u00a0and <em>Yom Kippur<\/em> will be\u00a0on Wednesday. The entire year\u2019s events are indicated in that column.

The bottom left squares indicate that they are for the year 5777 (note: what looks like a <em>vov<\/em> should be a <em>zayin, <\/em>as in 5777), and 247 years earlier, in 5530, and 247 years before that. The second chart shows that <em>Rosh Hashanah<\/em> next year, 5777\/2016, will begin\u00a0on Monday. The rest of the years are all indicated using both charts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-Optpjhn9fWs\/VfCkqSqWVmI\/AAAAAAADvG8\/bYkwgqgIemk\/s720\/plutochart1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-0WrtqOByHwg\/VfCkqv9j6TI\/AAAAAAADvHA\/jkiiPvG3FoE\/s720\/plutochart2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nThe following explains the connection between Pluto and the <a href=\"http:\/\/baltimorejewishlife.com\/pdfs\/Tur2.pdf\">Tur\u2019s chart.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Many of us are familiar with the 19-year cycle &#8211; every 19 years Hebrew and English dates coincide. For example, the first day of Rosh Hashanah, 5757, occurred on September 14<sup>th<\/sup>, 1996, and 19 years later, the first day of Rosh Hashanah, 5776, also occurs on September 14<sup>th<\/sup>, 2015. [As is well known, it does not always work out exactly and may be a day or two off, but that is beyond the scope of our discussion.]<\/p>\n<p>However, what is important to note is that the day of the week never coincides 19 years later. The first day of Rosh Hashanah, 5757\/1996, was on a Shabbos and the first day of Rosh Hashanah, 5776\/2015, will be on Monday. This is always the case 19 years later \u2013 the days of the week will never coincide.<\/p>\n<p>However, if 247 years pass \u2013 which is 13 cycles of 19 years (13 x 19 = 247), the days of the week and the entire Hebrew calendar year repeat themselves. For example, the Hebrew year 5528\/1767-68 and 5775\/2014-15 (247 years later) were identical. In both years, Chanukah began on Wednesday, Purim was on Thursday, Pesach began on Shabbos, and Tisha B\u2019av was nidcheh (pushed ahead) to Sunday, etc. The years 5529\/1768-69 and 5776\/2015-16 are also identical.<\/p>\n<p>With this in mind, the Tur (the precursor to the Shulchan Aruch and found on bookshelves in Batei Midrashim worldwide) published a chart in Orach Chaim Siman 428 in Hilchos Rosh Chodesh, which is a 900+ year calendar that begins in 5055 (1294-95). The basis of the calendar is this 247-year cycle. It consists of 19 rows \u2013 one for each year of the 19-year cycle and 13 columns. Each column indicates the first year of that particular column \u2013 and then 247 years later, and 247 years after that, etc. For example, one column shows the years 5245, 5492, 5739 (1978-79), and 5986. A calendar on the corresponding page indicates what days of the week various days occur. There are 247 boxes \u2013 each containing two Hebrew letters with the ability to see if the year is pshuta (regular) or meuberes (leap) &#8211; each box describes a specific year of each cycle. [A full discussion of how to use the chart as well as a handful of exceptions to when a year does not repeat 247 years later, the Achronim\u2019s modification to certain years on the chart, and how nowadays three letters known as the kvias hashana are typically used as a clearer way to describe a year, is beyond the scope of our discussion].<\/p>\n<p>The basis of the 247-year cycle is that every 247 years the time of the molad is almost identical. To be precise, it moves back a mere 905 chalakim (50 minutes and 16.67 seconds). For example, in 1755, the molad for Tishrei, 5516, was at about 7:45 a.m. on Shabbos morning. Therefore, Rosh Hashanah was on Shabbos. 247 years later \u2013 in 2002, the molad for Tishrei 5763 was at about 6:55 a.m. on Shabbos morning \u2013 so once again, Rosh Hashanah was on Shabbos. Because the molad is almost identical, Rosh Hashanah, as well as all the other days of the year, will be identical 247 years later.<\/p>\n<p>Pluto was discovered in 1930, long after the Tur lived. For many years, it was considered the furthest planet from the sun in the solar system, but was downgraded to a \u201cdwarf planet.\u201d It is quite fascinating that the Ribbono Shel Olam created this dwarf planet which is an astronomical \u201csiman\u201d that basically corresponds to the Tur\u2019s cycle.<\/p>\n<p>It takes Pluto about 247 years to orbit the sun (247 years and 248 days to be more precise). So, Pluto is in the same location vis-\u00e0-vis the sun as it was 247 years ago (by contrast the Earth is in the same location vis-\u00e0-vis the sun after 365.24 days). When this happens, the Hebrew year is repeating itself.<\/p>\n<p>For example, as indicated above, Chanukah, 247 years ago, began on a Wednesday, as it did this past Chanukah. On 8 Elul, 5775, Sunday, August 23, 2015, Pluto was in the same location vis-\u00e0-vis the sun as it was \u2013 247 years ago \u2013 on the first day of Chanukah, 5528\/1767, (because the rotation is not precisely 247 years the dates are not exactly the same and it could pull into the next year). B\u2019Toras moshol (a theoretical example), someone born on Pluto, 247 years ago, who remained there, would be celebrating his first birthday this year! At the same time, on Earth, we have a Hebrew year that repeats itself from 247 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Appreciating the chachma (wisdom) involved in our solar system and viewing the breathtaking photos sent back by \u201cNew Horizons\u201d allows us to better appreciate the Niflaos haBorai (wonders of the Creator) as the Navi (Prophet) Yeshaya tells us at the end of the Haftorah we read last month on<em>Shabbos Nachamu \u2013 \u201cSe\u2019uh marom aynaychem u\u2019ruh mee barah aleh\u201d &#8211; <\/em>lift your eyes up high and see Who Created this.<\/p>\n<p><em>A similar article written by Rabbi Dovid Heber in his column,\u201d Calendar Calculations\u201d, originally appeared in the Yated Ne\u2019eman \u2013 Re\u2019ah 5775\/2015 edition.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thelakewoodscoop.com\/news\/2015\/09\/pluto-and-the-turs-jewish-calendar-cycle.html\">http:\/\/www.thelakewoodscoop.com\/news\/2015\/09\/pluto-and-the-turs-jewish-calendar-cycle.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/matzav.com\/pluto-and-the-turs-jewish-calendar-cycle\/\">http:\/\/matzav.com\/pluto-and-the-turs-jewish-calendar-cycle\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/baltimorejewishlife.com\/news\/news-detail.php?SECTION_ID=1&amp;ARTICLE_ID=64235\">http:\/\/baltimorejewishlife.com\/news\/news-detail.php?SECTION_ID=1&amp;ARTICLE_ID=64235<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew Horizons\u201d (NASA\u2019s Mission to Pluto) recently came within 7,800 miles of Pluto and brought much attention to this dwarf planet that at any given time is between 2.66 billion and 4.68 billion miles away from Earth.<\/p>\n<p>As we begin Rosh Hashanah, 5776, which will mark the beginning of the final year of the 304th nineteen year cycle since Brias Haolam (the creation of the world), it is interesting to note the amazing similarity between the amount of time it takes Pluto to orbit the the sun and the Jewish Calendar cycle based on 13 &#8211; nineteen year cycles found in the Tur (Orach Chaim Siman 428).<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/baltimorejewishlife.com\/pdfs\/Tur2.pdf\">Tur\u2019s chart<\/a> is based on a 247-year cycle and it takes Pluto about 247 years to orbit the sun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is the Tur\u2019s 247-year calendar found in Orach Chaim, Siman 428, in Hilchos Rosh Chodesh.
