Here is a Hebrew/Israeli Date Calendar I found on line....</p><p><br /></p><p>It may be found below. Thanks to Vitaly Rabinovich from Haifa, Israel.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. The Hebrew Calendar is based on a lunar month so the year is about 11 days shorter than the Christian (solar) year and there are no constant Christian dates of Jewish holidays </p><p><br /></p><p>2. There is a cycle of 19 Hebrew years and additional month is added to some of the years, so this cycle is equal to 19 solar years. Therefore there is no growing delay between the Hebrew and the Christian calendars as for example between the Christian and the Islamic. </p><p><br /></p><p>3. The Jewish New Year (JNY) is celebrated during September – October. The Year 2000 is 5760 by Hebrew calendar. The Year 5760 started at Jewish New Year of 1999 and lasted till Jewish New Year of 2000.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. To calculate the Christian Year (CE) according to Hebrew Year (HE) : </p><p><br /></p><p>a. CE = HE – 3760 for dates from 1/1 till the JNY</p><p><br /></p><p>b. CE = HE – 3761 for dates from JNY till 31/12</p><p><br /></p><p>5. The Hanukkah holiday is celebrated at December therefore you should use the 4.b. formula for Hanukkah coins</p><p><br /></p><p>6. Conversion table between the Hebrew years appearing on Israeli coins and the corresponding Christian years according to the 4.a. formula :</p><p><br /></p><p>1948 -* תש&quot;ח</p><p>1949 - תש&quot;ט</p><p>1950 - תש&quot;י</p><p>1951 - תשי&quot;א</p><p>1952 - תשי&quot;ב</p><p>1953 - תשי&quot;ג</p><p>1954 - תשי&quot;ד</p><p>1955 - תשט&quot;ו</p><p>1956 - תשט&quot;ז</p><p>1957 - תשי&quot;ז</p><p>1958 - תשי&quot;ח</p><p>1959 - תשי&quot;ט</p><p>1960 - תש&quot;ך</p><p>1961 - תשכ&quot;א</p><p>1962 - תשכ&quot;ב</p><p>1963 - תשכ&quot;ג</p><p>1964 - תשכ&quot;ד</p><p>1965 - תשכ&quot;ה</p><p>1966 - תשכ&quot;ו</p><p>1967 - תשכ&quot;ז</p><p>1968 - תשכ&quot;ח</p><p>1969 - תשכ&quot;ט</p><p>1970 - תש&quot;ל</p><p>1971 - תשל&quot;א</p><p>1972 - תשל&quot;ב</p><p>1973 - תשל&quot;ג</p><p>1974 - תשל&quot;ד</p><p>1975 - תשל&quot;ה</p><p>1976 - תשל&quot;ו</p><p>1977 - תשל&quot;ז</p><p>1978 - תשל&quot;ח</p><p>1979 - תשל&quot;ט</p><p>1980 - תש&quot;ם</p><p>1981 - תשמ&quot;א</p><p>1982 - התשמ&quot;ב</p><p>1983 - התשמ&quot;ג</p><p>1984 - התשמ&quot;ד</p><p>1985 - התשמ&quot;ה</p><p>1986 - התשמ&quot;ו</p><p>1987 - התשמ&quot;ז</p><p>1988 - התשמ&quot;ח</p><p>1989 - התשמ&quot;ט</p><p>1990 - התש&quot;ן</p><p>1991 - התשנ&quot;א</p><p>1992 - התשנ&quot;ב</p><p>1993 - התשנ&quot;ג</p><p>1994 - התשנ&quot;ד</p><p>1995 - התשנ&quot;ה</p><p>1996 - התשנ&quot;ו</p><p>1997 - התשנ&quot;ז</p><p>1998 - התשנ&quot;ח</p><p>1999 - התשנ&quot;ט</p><p>2000 - התש&quot;ס</p><p>2001 - התשס&quot;א</p><p>2002 - תשס&quot;ב</p><p>2003 - התשס&quot;ג</p><p><br /></p><p>Vitaly&#039;s numismatic website may be found <a href="http://www.geocities.com/svitaly2002/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.geocities.com/svitaly2002/" rel="nofollow">here</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Shalom</p><p><br /></p><p>Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
