Using infographics to visually demonstrate the interdependence between humanity, the earth, the moon and the stars. Learn how to synchronise your soul with the natural environment according to ancient Hebrew wisdom.
WHAT iS THE HEBREW GROWTH ALMANAC ?
Throughout the course of human history the indigenous Hebrew nation of Israel received harmonious methods and techniques for maintaining a healthy soul, a balanced environment and wholesome lifestyle.
I have collected content from a range of traditional Jewish Hebrew texts and used them to create an infographic calendar and planters almanac. The almanac is designed to help you understand the true origin of this world view and its concepts.

BACKGROUND – UNDERSTANDiNG THE EXODUS
Our story starts with the Exodus from Egypt, as described in the Hebrew Bible (Tora), a central event in Jewish history. Moses led the Hebrew Israelites out of slavery from Egypt. This event is commemorated during the festival of Passover (Pesach). This event is dated to the 13th century BCE, and the Hebrew calendar places it on the 15th of Nissan (the first month of the Hebrew calendar).
The main festivals in the Hebrew calendar, such as Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot, are linked to the Exodus and were instituted by Moses and called Moadim (appointed times) or festivals.
What is the significance of a Moed (Festival)?
These festivals occurred at specific or appointed times in the lunisolar calendar year and possess cosmic and physical earthly powers. They are recorded as moadim, meaning “appointed times” that occur at the same time every year.
The Power of Specific Dates and Times
Our sages codified and understood that these dates and events possess special powers and characteristics that reoccur every year at the same exact time. By studying these recurring time stamps, we can learn and understand the deeper meaning and relevance of these calendar events, and how they can impact and affect our lives.
THE HEBREW ALMANAC INFOGRAPHiC
The following infographic visually displays the symbiotic relationship between the 12 months of the year and their 12 associated zodiac signs and the associated weather conditions that transpire throughout the course of the year. These are the first set of Moadim (appointed times).
How to Read the Infographics
By starting at the top of the circular and moving in a clockwise direction around the outer circumference, you can track the events (Moadim) that transpired for the beginning of the Exodus. These events reflect the energy that is present during a specific time period. By studying the deeper meaning of these events you can gain insight and knowledge about how they affect us.
THE HEBREW CALENDAR YEAR
The Hebrew calendar is a lunisolar, based on both lunar and solar cycles. The Hebrew calendar is a 19-year cycle called the Metonic cycle. Each cycle consists of 12 common years, (regular years) of 12 months and 7 leap years (intercalary years) of 13 months.
THE TWELVE TRiBES OF ISRAEL
In addition to the twelve monthly segments and their inherent traits, each month also has an assigned tribe with its inherent characteristics and ecological tasks that are required during that time period. These cultivation tasks tied to the calendar demonstrate the symbiotic connection between humans and the living planet.
The MONTHY DiViSiONS
Every month is segmented into four distinct weekly phases, each encompassing specific tasks, recommendations, and considerations tailored to that particular period.
Harmonic Alignment
Every month is influenced by the interplay of earthly and celestial cycles, intricately woven through the orbit of our planet around the sun and the rhythmic orbit of our moon around Earth.
Resonant Frequency
The High Priest used the Efod (a special garment) and the breastplate adorned with 12 precious stones to communicate with God. Each stone represented one of the 12 tribes, symbolizing their unity and their distinct roles within the community.
Certain crystals possess unique qualities capable of influencing or harmonizing our energy in accordance with our birth time. Consequently, employing specific stones aligned with each month can assist in stabilizing and finely tuning our mind, body, and soul.
THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL
The house of Israel is an ancient nation indigenous to the land of Israel. The Tora codifies both a sustainable “code of conduct” in regard to ecological agricultural practices and their intrinsic connection to the human condition.
The connection to the land and the people that live upon it may seem obvious but, it is rarely if ever documented as a single unified and codified method for maintaining a healthy and ecologically sound and sustainable environment.
