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.
