Daniel Martin:
Calendar has these three - Yom HaAtzma'ut happens 20 days after
passover, unless that would put it on a Friday or Saturday, in which
case it happens on the Thursday prior. Lag BaOmer happens 33 days
after passover and Yom Yerushalim happens 43 days after passover.
This puts them for next year on April 21st, May 4th, and May 14th,
respectively. (I got these by reading calendar's lisp code)
> 07/31* Fast of Tish'a B'Av (Babylon/Rome destroys Holy Temple; fast
> day)
Next year this happens on 7/22
> 10/12* Shmini Atzeres/Simchas Torah (Rejoicing of the Law;
> sabbatical)
This always happens the day before Simchat Torah. Next year that puts
it on October 2nd.
Rogation Sunday is the Sunday before Ascension Day; that puts it last
year on May 17th, and in 1999 on May 9th
Julian Gilbey:
An almost complete calendar for 1999 (including all the ones you had
queries about):
02/01 Tu Bishvat (New Year for Trees)
03/01 Fast of Esther
03/02 Purim (Jews rescued from decrees of Haman)
03/03 Shushan Purim (Purim in Jerusalem)
04/01-04/08 Pesach (Passover)
04/14 Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Memorial Day)
04/20 Yom HaZikaron (Israeli Fallen Soldiers Remembrance Day)
04/21 Yom HaAtzmaut (Israel Independence Day)
05/04 Lag Ba`omer (Commemoration of the Great Rebellion)
05/14 Yom Yerushalayim (Reunification of Jerusalem)
05/21-05/22 Shavuot (Pentecost)
07/01 Fast of Shiv'a Asar B'Tammuz (Romans breach Wall of
Jerusalem; fast day)
07/22 Fast of Tish'a B'Av (Babylon/Rome destroys Holy Temple; fast
day)
07/28 Tu B'Av (Festival of Fifteenth of Av)
09/11-12 Rosh Hashanah (New Year)
09/13 Fast of Tzom Gedaliah (Fast commemorating assassination of
Gedaliah, the head of the Jewish community in Israel during
the Babylonian exile)
09/20 Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement; fast day)
09/25-10/01 Sukkot (Tabernacles)
10/01 Hoshana Rabbah (Day of final appeal for a good judgement; part
of Sukkot)
10/02 Shmini Atzeret (Eighth day of Festival)
10/03 Simchat Torah (Rejoicing of the Law)
12/04-12/11 Chanukah (Festival of Lights)
12/19 Fast of Asara B'Tevet (Babylonians put siege on Jerusalem;
fast day)
(Also, it's on 12/29/98 this year, and not as in the current calendar,
but never mind.)
Finally, I've used the Orthodox dates for Diaspora Jewry (i.e.,
outside of Israel). In Israel and outside according to the Reform
(and possibly Conservative) practice, Pesach is one day shorter,
Shavuot is only one day, and Shmini Atzeret and Simchat Torah become
one day (10/02).
