I am confused about when this year's Spring Feast days are. There seems to be 2 different sets of dates.
Can anyone advise?

I recently asked Yada the same question...

G’morning Yada...
I’m sure you are aware that the Miqra’ey chapter in YY lists two separate dates for this year. I’m thinking that has to do with the barley being ripe or not.
Who makes the decision to add a month or not and when might that happen.
Could you please address this issue sometime soon on SM.
Thanks,
SP

SP,
When renewing moons before and after the Spring Equinox as nearly equidistant, both options are viable. Since there isn't much barley grown in Yisra'el, and since we are trying to anticipate the dates years in advance, we typically choose the renewal nearest March 20th.

So... if you go by the new moon closest to the equinox, Pesach will be on April 13th.
Hope that helps. |
