Talk:Jewish religious year

The list is present because the topic has an article in Lindsay Jones, ed. (2004), Encyclopedia of Religion (2 ed.), Macmillan Reference USA, ISBN 978-0028657332 {{citation}}: Unknown parameter |month= ignored (help), considered a definitive reference work in the field of religion, and principal source for article-seeding within WikiProject Religion. This article combines somewhat summarized versions of information found in the Wikipedia articles Hebrew calendar and Jewish holiday. In my opinion, the subject is probably included in Encyclopedia of Religion because of its parallel to the Christian concept of a liturgical year. That topic is not exactly "incorrect" in Judaism, but it is just not really how Jews tackle the subject. Accordingly, it made sense to me to build this as a list article leading to the principle subjects, calendar and holidays. Additional links have been added to point to sources of annual liturgical cycles, again to provide some parallel information to how the subject is defined within Christianity.

John Carter (talk · contribs), a WikiProject religion editor, requested that I tag this article with "Top Importance" for that WikiProject, and I have done so. I provided an importance of "NA" for WikiProject Judaism, because I would not necessarily see this list per se as something that WikiProject Judaism cares about.
