Your description is fine until you get to when it starts.

It has to start when Yehova’s year starts, which is defined by agriculture, when agriculture begins, at the new moon that is defined by agriculture’s most important biblical event: The Aviv Barley, which is absolutely necessary for Passover’s wave loaves.

Cahn is no Rabbi, only Yeshua is Rabbi, and Cahn has no idea what he is talking about. Yehova will not change the beginning of his years to please the Pharisees, of which Cahn is one, by choice.

Yeshua rejected all things Pharisee in Matthew 15, 16, 23, and in the purpose of each and every one of his miracles, which was in each case to denounce one of the Pharisees’ Takanot.

Again, my guess is that you are far more well versed in these things than I am.

What little I know is ( quoting from that same website) that "Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, falls on the Hebrew calendar dates of 1 and 2 Tishrei."

The year ends on the last day of the twelveth month on Elul 29.

A Wiki definition for "Smita":

The sabbath year (shmita Hebrew: שמיטה‎, literally "release") also called the sabbatical year or sheviit (Hebrew: שביעית‎, literally "seventh") is the seventh year of the seven-year agricultural cycle mandated by the Torah for the Land of Israel,[1] and still observed in contemporary Judaism.

This is all I've learned about these things that have been, and mostly still are, beyond my experience, education and understanding.

Thanks for helping me catch up.

Fwiw, these last two cycles, 2001 and 2008, have given these things a legitimacy previously as unknown to me as the Shemitah year itself had been.

Taken altogether, based upon recent experience, these ideas make this quote "real" for me also:

Just as written in God’s revelation to Moses, the catastrophe was total. Nothing was held back. We kept at our sinning, never giving you a second thought, oblivious to your clear warning, and so you had no choice but to let the disaster loose on us in full force. You, our God, had a perfect right to do this since we persistently and defiantly ignored you.
Daniel 9:13-14

Now I also understand "Fear of God" as I never did before.
