Why Cheshvan & Kislev?
The 讟讜专 (O.Ch. 428)
writes, ”转砖专讬 is always a full month (30 days) and 讟讘转 is always a missing
(short) month (29days)
The months alternate one month is full and the
following is short.
The months of 讞砖讜谉
& 讻住诇讜 are exceptions. Some years both months are full. (砖谞讛
砖诇诪讛 ).
Some years both months are short (讞住专讛) and some years one is full and the
other is short (讻住讚专讛)“
The reason for this is to equalize the months.
A lunar cycle is 29 days+12 hours+ 793 讞诇拽讬诐 (Approx. ¾ hr.)
A year can have 353- 354- or 355 days
The 诇讘讜砖 explains why 讞讝"诇 picked 讞砖讜谉
& 讻住诇讜 to change the system of alternating full and short months. and not
any other month.
“The first opportunity we have to add or
subtract from the month is on the month of 讞砖讜谉.
We can’t do it on
谞讬住谉 & 讗讬讬专 because the 50th day of 住驻讬专讛 needs to be
on the 6th of 住讬讜谉. (by adding or subtracting a day
we will have it on the 5th or the 7th )
From 砖讘讜注讜转 till 讬讜诐 讻讬驻讜专 we need to have 3x
40 days to commemorate the 3x 40 days from 诪砖讛 专讘讬谞讜 standing on the
mountain (砖讘讜注讜转) to bringing down the 诇讜讞讜转 on
讬讜诐 讻讬驻讜专.
讞讚砖 转砖专讬 is the king of the 讞讚砖讬诐 and the
Month with Yomim Tovim (讬专讞 讛讗转谞讬诐 ) we can’t
make it a 讞住专.
Therefore, the first opportune time is in the month of 讞砖讜谉.
