It has to start at the beginning of a Sabbath of years.
That means it has to start at the beginning of the month of the Aviv barley, of the first year of a Sabbath of years.
Aviv, one year from today would be the first possibility, and Aviv 2021 would be the next after that, and so on.
It cannot happen in the fall; the Aviv barley comes shortly, after the vernal equinox usually, And the Biblical year cannot begin in the fall. (The Pharisees declare Rosh Hashanah in the fall, but they know that it is really in the spring)

Interesting. There is a family in our church who are Jewish. Jewish Christians. Their relatives all live in Israel and are very devout in Judaism. We’re suppose to go to their home on passover with some other couples and see a jewish passover celebration. He says the way it has been done since the people crossed the red sea. The way his family is doing it in Israel. Its just for informational purposes etc. Enrichment and better understanding. I need to visit with him about the calendar a little etc. Its always interesting to me.
