Jewish religious year
The Jewish religious year consists of the events, observances and liturgies observed by Jews over the course of a year. Holidays and other observances are fixed on the Jewish, or Hebrew calendar, a lunisolar calendar, but float with respect to other calendars in widespread use, such as the Gregorian calendar. Further information on the Jewish religious year is available in the following articles:
- Hebrew calendar, the calendar basis for Jewish religious observances
- Jewish holiday, describing the Jewish Sabbath, festivals, and other observances throughout the year
- Weekly Torah reading, describing the annual cycle of Torah readings on the Sabbaths of the year
- Jewish prayer provides a gateway to resources about other liturgical variations over the course of the year
