What are the postponements of the Hillel or Jewish calendar?
A. The Hillel calendar postpones the Feasts of the Seventh month by introduced postponements, which were originally formulated in the year 344 by two Babylonian rabbis and introduced under Rabbi Hillel II in 358 CE. They were not finalised until the eleventh century. Since the eleventh century the festival of Rosh Hashanah which was introduced in the third century CE from Babylon to Judaism has determined the dating of the month and has been used as the New Year. In the year 2000, for example, Rosh Hashanah postpones Atonement from its true Date coinciding with the Sabbath of 7 October by two days so that Atonement commences on the evening of 8 October and takes place over Sunday Night and Monday 9 October. This is two days later than the ancient temple calendar which accords with the conjunction which determines the start of each month with the New Year in Abib which is the true New Year and First Month according to God’s Law. This postponement happens often in that calendar system. L
