Judaic dates ? Web site ?
The following is taken from a debian mailing list + my answer.
1) Isn't there a web site that list Jewish dates ?
2) Do you know if Yom Yerushalayim (Reunification of Jerusalem) is on 14th May
1999 (which is friday), or on the 13th ? I have 2 calendars which don't agree
on it.
Thank you.
