ETERNAL JEWISH CALENDAR
In
the 1880s, a so-called Eternal Jewish Calendar was widely circulated around
the Malin, Berdichev, and Kiev Jewish communities. This calendar was calculated
and compiled by Nukhim Yankelevich Vaisblat, who was born in the middle of the
19th century – between 1850 and 1860 – in the town of Malin, in
the Kiev region. Malin then was a typical Jewish town. The first education he
received was in the cheder of Malin, and later he finished his studies at a
school for rabbis, probably in Kiev. At a young age he became the rabbi of Malin’s
Jewish community and became famous for his knowledge and and even his quick
wit.
The Berdichev printing house published it in 1887.
