(Also, Jewish years aren't allowed to start on Sunday, because if it did, then Hashana Rabah would fall on the Sabbath, and Sabbath restrictions would prevent the ritual beating on willow branches on the ground.

Jewish years also can't start on Wednesday or Friday, because then Yom Kippur would fall on Friday or Sunday; full Sabbath restrictions apply on Yom Kippur, and two consecutive days of Sabbath restrictions is considered to be a bit much).

Somebody was talking to me about the #MuslimCalendar, and it occurred to me that knowing the #JewishCalendar means I can calculate how the former cycles through the year.

The lunisolar Jewish Calendar has 7 leap months every 19 years, or 7 extra months every 235 months. It thus falls behind the pure-lunar Muslim Calendar at a unitless rate of 7/235 (on average). Thus, it takes 235/7 ≈ 33.6 years for the Muslim holidays to cycle through the solar year.
