RABBI ARTHUR SEGAL: LEAP MONTH =ADAR: JEWISH CALENDAR: JEWISH SPIRITUAL RENEWAL
FOLLOW PHASES OF THE MOON TO UNDERSTAND THE JEWISH CALENDAR
FEBRUARY 2016 BLUFFTON SUN
RABBI DR ARTHUR SEGAL
Shalom and greetings:
In our tour through the Jewish calendar this year, February brings us an additional month, a leap month if you will, named Adar One. It can get confusing, because Adar Two is the regular Adar with its holiday of Purim. Adar One has no real holidays so we will use it to discuss the Jewish Lunar Calendar. This will help answer why Jewish Holidays fall on deferent dates in the Gregorian calendar, but in the same season.
The first commandment given to the recently freed Hebrew nation involves our Jewish courts setting our lunar calendar as well as its continued modification (Ex. 12:02). Without a calendar the holidays could not be observed and religious chaos would follow.
The Jewish calendar is based on the Moon but regulated by the Sun. Each new moon is 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes, and 3.5 seconds. Months must have complete days. Jewish months have either 29 or 30 days. 12 lunar months makes a 354 day year. Jewish holidays are seasonal and agriculturally based (Passover is the ”spring holiday”). Hence we have a leap month, a second Adar, seven times in every 19-year cycle. This way Rosh Hashanah and Sukkoth are in the fall, and Passover is in the spring.
In 358 C.E. Rabbi Hillel II preset a lunar calendar for the future and a monthly court would no longer be needed. However the average Hebrew year is slower than the average solar year by about one day in every 216 years. That means that today we celebrate the holidays an average of about 8 days later than did our ancestors in 358 C.E.
Should no new calendar reform take place, our holidays will have drifted out of their appropriate seasons. Passover would be observed in the winter. As you are reading this, ”this” moment never existed before from the time the Earth was created, and ”this” moment will never exist again. Every ”now” has its meaning. Carpe Diem! Seize the day! Cherish and do not waste these precious moments of our lives. A freed people, and a free person, control their time. Let us not be in self-bondage to our clocks and calendars.

JEWISH WEDDINGS OFFICIATED BY RABBI ARTHUR SEGAL: TRADITIONAL, INTERFAITH, CO-OFFICIANT, DESTINATION
“One of the Joys of being a Rabbi,” says Rabbi Arthur Segal,” is working closely with the bride and groom and officiating at their wedding.” He can do this with couples living near by or with couples having a destination wedding in the greater beautiful Hilton Head Island area.
Rabbi Arthur Segal helps develop a custom ceremony with the couple so that each word in the ceremony rings true to them. His ceremonies can range from the very traditional to what ever the couples desires. Rabbi opines that this is the couple’s special day, and to treat each wedding as unique.
For those who are having an interfaith wedding, Rabbi takes special care to respect both traditions, again with total input from the couple. He will be pleased to co-officiate at weddings, using non-Trinitarian language.
Rabbi Arthur Segal also will do recommitment marriage ceremonies with the same care as he does weddings.
Rabbi will work closely with the wedding planer and/or caterer to make sure the wedding is seamless, and the bride and groom can totally enjoy themselves on their special day.
Rabbi Arthur Segal is available, and actually prefers, to be at the rehearsal, to ensure all is going smoothly, and to get to know the bridal party, and family, before the actual wedding day.
For those that wish to have a Ketubah, rabbi will work closely to make sure everyone’s name has correct calligraphy on the document, in English and Hebrew, so the signing ceremony is flawless.
For a beautiful gallery of Ketubahs go to JudaicConnection.com (My couples receive a $15 shipping discount)
Rabbi Arthur Segal tries to limit his weddings to Hilton Head, SC, Bluffton, SC, Palmetto Bluff, SC, Savannah, GA, and Charleston, SC, but has been known to make himself available elsewhere, even out of the USA. He will also conduct weddings and recommitment ceremonies on cruise ships.
In keeping with Jewish ethics, if the couple resides in Rabbi Arthur Segal’s town, Rabbi will ask, unless there are some special circumstances, if the couple has first asked the local pulpit rabbi to officiate.
