A family calendar before Rosh Hashanah

When to begin

Begin 10–12 weeks before Rosh Hashanah; verify dates 4 weeks before sharing.

Use the date observed by your own family and community. Work backward from that date; the project can stay small.

Your project

• Ask each household for the dates it wants included, and who may see them.
• Use the Hebrew and civil date worksheet to preserve original dates and sunset uncertainty.
• Verify family practice for leap years and variable months before setting reminders.
• Generate a sample calendar, review it privately and invite corrections.

Start with one useful resource

Keep the result together

Store the original, the source and the sharing permission with the finished record. Ask one relative to review it before inviting a wider audience.
