So, this must mean that I was born on Sept. 13, 5730.
I haven't been on the board during the holiday, and didn't get a chance to do the math before, but...
If you were born 9/13/1969, you were, in fact, born on Tishrei 1, 5730, the first day of Rosh Hashannah that year (assuming you were born before nightfall. If not, you would have been born on Tishrei 2, 5730). Which means your 35 Hebrew birthday would have been September 16, 2004. The Hebrew calender is a lunar calendar which shifts every year from the Gregorian solar calendar. To keep up with the seasons, there are leap months occasionally (I believe seven years out of nineteen have leap months). I got exact dates from
this page. So...I figured wrongly...I was born on the morning of Sept. 13, 1970...so, whatever that means on the Jewish calendar.
