Elul Rosh Chodesh - 58 day month?
Elul Rosh Chodesh - 58 day month? :
Hi, does Elul Rosh Chodesh really begin on Sep 3 and end on Nov 1? That makes it a 58 day month? Is there a mistake on the hebcal.com calendar? thanks in advance

Rosh Hashana falls on the 1st of Tishrei, between Elul and Cheshvan.

Hi Michael and thanks for that quick reply.
I must be reading the lists wrong.
I'm looking at the Rosh Chodesh lists.
In the column for 2015/2016 (5776) the last entry is Rosh Chodesh Elul September 3rd. Then, in the next column 2016/2017 (5777) the first entry is November 1 (Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan). So I calculated (obviously wrongly) that Elul contains most of September and all of October.
Have you done a calendar (like in a google calendar, or the typical month by month wall calendars) with the first days of each month ?
Thanks in advance
