Jewish-American Calendar 2023

12/13/2022 By Mishka in General, Jewish, Recent News

I can NOT believe we’re at the end of 2022!

As I’m currently under-employed, I’m using the time to catch up on my end of year sorting, filing, organizing, and tying up the loose ends of my to do list. There’s a lot on there as I didn’t have the time to do this LAST December so I’m playing catch up.

This year I got a jump on my 2023 “Realtor Fridge Calendar” insert! Yes, this is now officially a THING for me.

There was a time, for a few years, where we’d receive a promotional 11 x 8.5 paper calendar every December from one of the local realtors. A few years ago, we stopped getting them but I was able to score one from the local Buy Nothing group. The following year, I was out of luck. I was actually really upset because I like the format and I used the heck out of those calendars! I did look around to see if I could buy an insert someplace because I still have the holders, but I couldn’t find one that looked like the realtor calendar I loved. So I made my own.

Since I made it for myself, I could put what I wanted on it. I made a progressive Jewish-American calendar with Jewish holidays that don’t usually make it onto the standard calendars, Hebrew month starts and each Rosh Chodesh, as well as the Hebrew year(s) and moon phases.

I also put in several non-Jewish holidays that are relevant to living in a multi-ethnic area. It’s fascinating to see where other lunar and lunar-solar calendar holidays sometimes align (and sometimes don’t) with Jewish ones because each tradition uses different calendar calculations.

As in years past, I’m sharing my calendar for free. If you want a copy of the 2023 progressive Jewish-American calendar, download the PDF to print it out for your own realtor fridge calendar holder. Or just tack it on a wall. Maybe next year I’ll add some art to it (I KNOW I keep saying that). Obviously copyrights apply so it should go without saying but please don’t go selling my work.

I’ve done my best to proof everything but I’m only one set of eyes. If you see any glaring mistakes, please let me know so I can fix them!

The Omer Project Card Decks Are Finally Here!

I’m excited to announce that The Omer Project Meditation Card Decks are FINALLY here!

This is an initial run of only 250 card decks. If there is more interest, I will create a second run well in advance of the Omer count next year!

Also, I plan to keep sending the daily card image and message via the MailChimp email list for the Omer count this year.

It’s not too late to subscribe: http://eepurl.com/ht15Yn

March 2022 Update on The Omer Project Card Decks

3/28/2022 By Mishka in General, Jewish, The Omer Project, Updates

Hello Friends!

Thank you for your your interest and patience! I am finally writing with an update on The Omer Project Meditation Card Deck.

The Omer Project Meditation Card Decks are finally in the queue at the printers! Yayyy! Unfortunately, they are currently scheduled to ship on April 20th, which is a little late to arrive for the beginning of the Omer count this year.

I am told that date is the latest they will ship and that it’s entirely possible they will be available sooner. Once they enter production, I’ll be able to give you an order link and the card decks will be shipped directly to you at the same time they’ll be shipped to me. You may get to see them before I do!

This is a limited initial run of only 250 card decks. The cost is expected to be around $30 per card deck plus shipping in the United States.

If you are local to me in Northern Virginia and want to save the shipping cost I’ll have a different order link for you and we’ll make arrangements for pick-up or drop off or a coffee date.

If you’re international, we’ll make other arrangements as I’ll need to work out specific shipping costs. When the links become available, please message me and we’ll figure it out. I am very sorry that international shipments will not arrive in time for the start of the Omer count this year.

Stay tuned for the purchase links. I’ll let you know as soon as I have them!

Additionally for the Omer count this year, I plan to send the daily card image and message via MailChimp mailing list. Subscribe: http://eepurl.com/ht15Yn

Hopefully this will make up for the card decks arriving a little late. Though the printer says, you never know, they could finish sooner.

And, again, thank you so much for your patience! This is the first time I’ve done a project like this and I’m working hard to try and get it right!

Sincerely,
Mishka Jaeger

Happy 2022!

There was a time, for a few years, where we’d receive an 11 x 8.5 paper fridge calendar every December from one of the local realtors. A couple of years ago, we stopped getting them. I was actually upset about this. I really like the format!

I looked around to see if I could buy an insert someplace because I still have some of the magnetic and vinyl holders. I couldn’t find one that looked like the realtor calendar so I made my own.

Once again this year we didn’t get one so I’m continuing to make my own. This year, I made myself a Jewish-American calendar with all the Jewish holidays, Hebrew month starts, and the Hebrew year(s). I also put in all the non-Jewish holidays I want to remember as well.

I know it’s already January 10th but if you’d like a copy, you can download the PDF (free) to print out for your own empty realtor fridge calendar holder. Or just tack it on a wall. Maybe next year I’ll add some art to it!

(Also, if you see any glaring mistakes, please let me know and I’ll update it!!!)
