This is the 2021calendar.NOTE: For 2021, the High Holy days by this calendar differ only slightly from thetraditional Jewish calendar primarily due to the way the two calendars determinethe 1st day of the month and some Holy Days. Torah portions between the twocalendars remain unavoidably out of sync until July 17 due to the requiredintercalary (leap) month for Hebrew year 5780, experienced at the beginning of2020, which was not included in the traditional rabbinic calendar. (The traditionalcalendar inserts the leap month by rigid schedule instead of by the real moon.)Questions can be directed to The Refiner’s Fire: Calendar@therefinersfire.org.This calendar has no authority! You are not asked to or expected to follow it. Seethe detailed explanation for this calendar beginning on the Appendix following theDecember calendar grid. Genesis 1:14 says “Let there be lights in the dome of thesky to divide the day from the night; let them be for signs, seasons, days andyears”. In our estimation a calendar should use the real sun, moon and stars asthey are witnesses in and of themselves – i.e., no “two (human) witnesses” areneeded to attest to a “sighted crescent” to determine the beginning of the monthand no “barley” is needed to determine the year.Levites of old observed the moon throughout the whole month, every month, yearafter year, including far more than just the visible new crescent: Lost on mosttoday, they were, for example, aware of the time of sunset in Jerusalem; observedmoon rise & set times all month; observed the old crescent size and position withrespect to the sun at sunrise; and were able to determine the day of the unseenconjunction (which many say is impossible). All these heavenly witnesses cometogether to provide knowledge of the 1st day of the new Hebrew month inadvance. Indeed, when the new month arrived, the sighting of the crescent onlysanctified that the month had already begun. (See Maimonides).While the modern traditional rabbinic calendar calculates the 1st day of a newmonth by an “average moon” and by man-made “rules” establishing future HighHoly Days (commanded Feast Days) such that the rabbis don’t permit Yom Kippurto fall on Friday or Sunday, this calendar permits all Holy Days to fall when theyfall! This calendar also recognizes the importance of the Full Moon as a Genesis1:14 witness of the middle of the Hebrew calendar month. In general, in Jerusalemwhen the Hebrew date at sunset becomes the 14th or 15th (depending on if themonth is to be 29 or 30 days), a full or nearly full moon should be observed to riseat that same sunset. The moon is clearly announcing the middle of the month! Ifinstead you relied on the “sighted moon”, then the month will have always beguna day or two late, and come the middle of the moon’s month, the moon will beobserved to rise an hour or more after sunset, already well-past full, indicating thecalendar is clearly not right because the moon itself is declaring the month is wellpast half over!This calendar recognizes that when the Moon is “renewed”, in conjunction beforesunset in Israel, thus the sunset that very evening, the day of conjunction, becomesthe first day of the new month. Therefore, this calendar lists the time of NewMoon from Jerusalem and the time of sunset in Jerusalem as an aid to validate thecorrect 1st day. Again, refer to the details following the December calendar page.Summary of the Holy Days for 2021 Pesach: Mar 27 (Pesach begins late afternoon and into the evening) Feast of Unleavened Bread: Mar 28 to Apr 3 (1st and last day are HighSabbath* days) First Fruits: Mar 29 (1st day of Omer) Shavuot: May 17 (High Sabbath day) Yom Teruah: Sep 8 (High Sabbath day) Yom Kippur: Sep 17 (High Sabbath dayCompare to the 2021 Rabbinic dates: Pesach: Mar 27 FULB: Mar 28-Apr 3 First Fruits: Mar 29 Shavuot: May 17 Yom Teruah: Sep 7 Yom Kippur: Sep 16 Sukkot: Sep 21-28 Sukkot: Sep 22 to 29 (1st and last day are High Sabbath days)(*High Sabbath: These are the set-apart days of the commanded feasts. They are called “highSabbaths” because they are days of holy convocations, no work, time with YHWH, and rest.The weekly Sabbath is set apart on its own, distinct from the high Sabbaths. See Leviticus 23.)The Hebrew Falls NameFalls in:7TishriSep-Oct8Cheshvan 12Adar (I)Feb-Mar13†Adar (II)Mar-Apr(†The new moon of Nisan each year is chosen so Pesach falls on or after the startof Spring. If Pesach would fall before Spring, then a “leap month” is added. In leapyears, the 2nd Adar is always known as “Adar” though on calendars the twomonths are usually labeled “Adar I & Adar II”, or “Adar & Adar Sheni”. Purim andAdar birthdays are always in the 2nd Adar if there is one that year.)Note: “Parsha”, the weekly Torah portion, is used in the calendar grids. It is thesame as “Parashat ha-Shavua”.A note on the colors used in the calendar grids: Dates colored “Blue” denote the 1st of the Hebrew month (which actually began at sunset the prior evening). Dates colored “Yellow” denote the period of the Full Moon. Dates colored “Green” denote the period when the moon is renewed. High Holy Days are indicated with a RED border. The days of the Feast of Unleavened bread andSukkot observances are indicated with a Blue border. The weekly Shabbat is always a NO WORK day, but is not specifically highlighted. As always: The Hebrew day beginsat local sunset the evening before the calendar date shown in the grids. Be sure to read the 9-page explanation of this calendar at the end of this document.Updated: Feb 20, 2021. Corrected a date typo for April 24th.

therefinersfire.org/2021 Calendar.pdfDetailed explanation of this Calendar:This calendar originated because the modern calendar of Judaism, (the“current (authorized) Hebrew calendar” or what we often refer to as the“traditional Hebrew calendar”, “traditional rabbinic calendar”, or simply the“modern Jewish calendar”), is so clearly in error. Just how the currentHebrew calendar is wrong will be addressed shortly. However, we recognizethat no individual or group has any responsibility or authority for the“authorized Hebrew calendar”, so we recognize this calendar has noauthority, and as such, we do not, and have never expected, demanded,requested or required that anyone follow this calendar! So, you may wish toask: “Without authority, why do you advocate this calendar?” It is a fairquestion we hope to answer herein.The answer begins with the fact that Elohim our Creator commanded HisFeast Days, His Moedim (appointed times), to be kept at the right time ofeach year beginning with Pesach (Passover, Deuteronomy 16:1 and 16:6). Asyou will learn shortly, the traditional Hebrew calendar (which again, Iacknowledge is the only authorized calendar) not only often begins a newmonth when the Moon itself has not yet declared itself “renewed”, but,more and more often, as the decades pass, errs by establishing the 1st month(Nisan) at the wrong new moon! This “The Refiner’s Fire” calendar seeks toprovide a calendar which reproduces all the heavenly signs of the sun, moon,and stars - as these bodies alone (Genesis 1:14) should declare and establishthe commanded Moedim in their proper seasons (to all who would make theeffort watch for the heavenly signs as they did in ancient times.)4:19, that verse simply does not forbit looking at the heavenly bodies todetermine the calendar!There is, today, no Great Sanhedrin. The Great Sanhedrin is the only bodyauthorized in Judaism to adjudicate the calendar. There has been noauthorized Sanhedrin since the 4th century CE (1500 years ago) - yet modernJudaism has repeatedly changed the originally approved calendar, addingnew man-made rules and requirements well after the last Great Sanhedrinwas disbanded. Indeed, the current Hebrew calendar has been alteredseveral times in the last 1500 years, without Sanhedrin authority. (Some willtake exception to that comment, citing that “today’s rabbis carry theauthority”, but the fact remains that today’s rabbis do not hold the authorityof the Great Sanhedrin and today’s Hebrew calendar is, as a result, largely amess!) Even those in Israel attempting to restore an authorized Sanhedrinrecognize the current Hebrew calendar is growing more and more out-ofsync with the actual sun, moon and stars! See:https://therefinersfire.org/Sanhedrin Calendar.pdfWhat is so wrong with the current Hebrew Calendar? Much! But in anutshell:Who are we to take on such responsibility? Who are we to say we knowwhat is right and what is not? We are just a teaching ministry! We have noauthority! And we are not saying “We’re right while others are wrong!”However, I’ve observed and studied the sun, moon, and stars for over 50years and find that few others are looking at the current traditional Hebrewcalendar and recognizing the clear errors of it and I feel a responsibility to atleast identify the problems, inform people, and advocate a solution more inline with scripture. The sun, moon, and stars are actually there, in the sky allthe time, every night, for anyone to actually observe and see how thecalendar works – as they did for thousands of years – yet hardly anyonetoday does – or even knows how! And, contrary to some who say we areforbidden to look at the sun, moon, and stars according to DeuteronomyAppendix pg 11. The current Hebrew calendar calculates the first day of each newmonth using an “average moon” instea
Holy Days (commanded Feast Days) such that the rabbis don't permit Yom Kippur to fall on Friday or Sunday, this calendar permits all Holy Days to fall when they fall! This calendar also recognizes the importance of the Full Moon as a Genesis 1:14 witness of the middle of the Hebrew calendar month. In general, in Jerusalem
