*hebrew: כִּסְלֵו*
*standard kislev*
*tiberian kislēw*
(also chislev)
.
*”kislev” is the 3rd month of the ‘civil year’ and the ‘9th month’ of the ‘ecclesiastical year’ on the “hebrew calendar”*
.
(in a regular (kesidran) year, ‘kislev’ has ’30 days’, but because of the ‘rosh hashanah postponement rules’, in some years it can lose a day to make the year a “short” (chaser) year)
(‘kislev’ is an ‘autumn month’ which occurs in ‘november’ – ‘december’ on the ‘gregorian calendar’ and is sometimes known as the ‘month of dreams’)
(the name of the month may be taken from akkadian kislimu, which means “inspissated, thickened” (due to ‘plentiful rains’))
(but the name may also derive from the hebrew root ‘K-S-L’ as in the words ‘kesel’ / ‘kisla’ (meaning ”hope’ / ‘positiveness’) or “ksil” (aka ‘orion’, a constellation that shines especially in this month) – because of the expectation and hope for ‘rain’)
.
(in “jewish rabbinic literature”, the month of “kislev” is believed to correspond to the “tribe of benjamin”)
