Mon September 18, 2023 @ 19:00 - 20:30
Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of a new year, a new month, and the High Holidays, but have you ever wondered what determines these ever-changing dates? Join the Museum of Jewish Montreal to find out, with a night of festive stargazing and astronomical exploration.
Led by Plateau Astro (Trevor Kjorlien), visitors will be taken on a guided walk through the Plateau to learn about the relationship between the planetary movements, the Jewish New Year and the Hebrew calendar.
