Is it 5787 ה'תשפ״ז or it is 5952 ה'תתקנ״ב?
According to our calendar, we will be ushering in on Rosh Hashana the year 5787.
Approximately 165 years are missing from our calendar. The correct year might be 5952. (Only 48 more years to the year 6,000)
This issue was addressed by many gedolim, from R Azariya min Ha'adumim to Rav Shimon Schwab זצ״ל.
In a 1962 essay, Rabbi Shimon Schwab suggested that the 168 years were consciously removed from the Jewish calendar to obscure the date for the coming of Mashiach. However, in 1991, Rav Schwab felt that he had to pull back from his previous position and retract his suggestion.
