This is the New Year on the Jewish calendar. The celebration is Rosh Hashanah for which we give thanks for making it through another year.

Always better to ask a question which leads to enlightenment than to stay in the dark. This forum is all about asking questions and getting help.

If you can believe it, the origin of the calendar is tied to the chronology in the Old Testament. This is why certain groups believe the earth is 5,000 years old. A gross misreading of the text.
According to Google sources:
Biblical Roots
The chronology of the bible was calculated directly from the bible text and is given in the Talmud (a collection of Rabbinic writing created during the Hellenistic Age). The rabbis derived the following chronology:
Year Event Comment
1 Adam The Creation
1057 Noah 1056 years from Adam to Noah
1949 Abraham 892 years from Noah to Abraham
2049 Isaac 100 years from Abraham to Isaac
2239 Entrance into Egypt 190 years from Isaac to Egypt
2449 The Exodus 210 years from Egypt to the Exodus
2929 Dedication of the First Temple 480 years from the Exodus to the First Temple
3339 Destruction of the First Temple 410 years - duration of the First Temple
3409 Return to Israel 70 years of Babylonian exile
3829 Destruction of Second Temple 420 years - duration of Second Temple
Since I wasn't there, that's all I know. Now with the recent discovery of human-like remains in South Africa that are several million years old, re-doing the calendar is just too much work.
