Longest Jewish year












2















This year, 5779, is the longest possible year on the Jewish calendar. Not only is it a leap year, but Cheshvan and Kislev both have 30 days, for a total of 385 days. How often does that happen?

          It happens in 1371/8512 years, which is about 16.1%.

            Could you add something about how you arrived at (or sourced) that number?

          • Where do you get 1371/8512 from? My reading of the Tur’s chart gives 40/247, which is slightly off but still rounds to 16.1%. Where does the difference come from? (And what does 8512 represent? I know of 19 year cycles, 247 year cycles, and over 600K year cycles, but 8512 is new to me.)

          • Ah, makes sense now. So 8512 doesn’t mean anything in particular, that’s just the most reduced fraction?
