NOTES:

1. Most modern Jewish calendars have Kislev beginning November 9, 2018. Reckoning the first new moon after the vernal equinox Nisan 1 as we believe is correct, however, puts the first day of Kislev on December 8-9 and Hanukkah Eve (Kislev 24) on December 31.

2. The Gregorian calendar is also commonly referred to as the “Western” or “Christian” calendar: https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/gregorian-calendar.html

3. The Jews traditionally divided the night into three military watches. They later adopted the Roman practice of dividing the night into four watches.

4. Haggai chapter 2 implies that Kislev 24 (Hanukkah Eve) is when the foundation of the Temple was laid. It’s believed that this day was kept as a day of gathering in the temple, commemorating its foundation, which is why the Greeks chose it as a day of defilement, and why the Hasmoneans chose it as a day of dedication. https://thetorah.com/identifying-the-building-blocks-of-chanukah/

5. Milestone events in Kislev/December related to the Jews’ possession of the Holy Land and Jerusalem: http://www.theseasonofreturn.com/THE_NINTH_MONTH_-_KEEP_WATCH.pdf
