 Dates were determined using  RedShift 3 software. See chapter 17 for details. Start of the Jewish month in 
dates presented in this book is by calculation, not by the observation based system. See chapter 17 for details 
on this point.

 The order of the months is: AdarI, AdarII, Nisan, Iyar, Sivan, Tammuz, Av, Elul, Tishri, Heshvan, Kislev. 
From AdarI 28 to AdarII 28 is one lunar month, from AdarI 28 to Heshvan 28 is nine lunar months, and 
adding one weeks brings us to the beginning of the month of Kislev.
