The Jewish Calendar
The Jewish Calendar 2009-2010 Engagement

Great art illustrations. Concise, clear date information. Easy to navigate from secular to Hebrew calendar features. Highly recommend.

The Jewish Engagement Calendar series
I have been purchasing The Jewish Calendar since 2008. I cannot wait until September or October each year to order mine. I keep my older copies for the beautiful photos. This is not a wall calendar, but an engagement calendar. The photos are from the B'Nai B'rith Klutznick National Jewish Museum. It is published by Universe. Every month is given in English as well as in Hebrew. Each day of the week has the regular calendar date on the left hand side and the Jewish date on the right hand side. Each calendar page has one week and the opposite page has a photo. Actually, there is one photo for about every two calendar pages. Each photo has a description on the side of the opposite page. Jewish holidays are carefully pointed out including the Torah and Haphtarah readings. Shabbat candle lighting times are included for the whole year for Jerusalem as well as ten other locations. Jewish holidays are carefully noted. While it is true that some of the photos are of more modern artifacts (which I do not care much about), others are magnificent beauties. I am quite a fan of this engagement calendar series. I had not planned to write this review until I was shocked to see someone had given the engagement calendar one star. I give it five.

Jewish Calenda?
This is a medium sized calendar that does have some photos of Jewish art work but nothing spectacular. The calendar itself can hardly be called "Jewish" as it focuses on Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc. as much or more than it does the Hebrew holidays. However, there is a small section in the back that gives a very brief overview of some of the Hebrew celebrations. If you are Jewish or a Messianic Jew/Christian, this calendar is going to disappoint you.
