NAME

luach - typeset a Hebrew calendar.

SYNOPSIS

luach [-ehnidgj] [-.request] year ...

DESCRIPTION

luach typesets the Hebrew/Gregorian calendars for a list of Hebrew years. To generate a printout, its output should be piped through troff. Each Hebrew month is printed in two lines, with the latter describing the corresponding partial Gregorian months. Days in the week are properly aligned. Jewish holidays are highlighted. Optionally, the two-line printout of each month may be followed by a third line, describing the Pentateuch reading sequence (see appendix). Saturdays are marked by the sequence number of the portion being read in that week. Saturdays in which two consecutive portions are read, are marked by the appending a plus sign to the first sequence number. Holiday Saturdays, in which the reading is out of the sequence, are marked by asterisks.

OPTIONS

The options, which may be given in any order, and, unless reset, apply to all the following year arguments, are:
-e
Typeset the calendar in English (the default).
-h
Typeset the calendar in Hebrew.
-n
Do not generate a reading sequence (the default).
-i
Generate a reading sequence used in Israel.
-d
Generate a reading sequence used in the Diaspora, and highlight the additional festival days.
-g
Generate Gregorian dates for Hebrew dates starting at 19 Tishri 5343 (the default). Note that the Gregorian calendar became official in Great Britain and its colonies (including North America) in 6 Tishri 5513, and in Russia in 1 Adar 5678.
-j
Generate Julian dates.
-.request
Issue a troff request before processing the next year. As an example, the setting -.fam\ H (when used in conjunction with GNU's troff) typesets the calendar in Helvetica.

BUGS

There is no way to highlight the additional festival days observed in the Diaspora without printing the reading sequence.
