yes.....the hebrew year begin in september....but the date is changes every year (cause there is a hebrew date)......
we don't supposed to count the years from Jesus' baptism date.....but we are using this date, and more than we're using the hebrew date.....
we have several holydays like:
rosh ha'shana - new year
chanuka - (was last month) - for 8 days we're lighting candles and eating donuts
passover - for 2 weeks (?) we're eating matza (jewish bread...uncocked)....to remind us the hebrew who left egypt from slavery.
purim - all the kids wearing costums.......it's a funny holyday
actually.....most of the holydays are to remind us things which happened in biblical times......
the others are memorial days (holocaust, war....)
in few words: jewish holydays are mostly depresing.....christian holydays are better!
