Introduction

The Jewish calendar marks time so that Jews can poetically dwell in time known as moed or zeman. In Judaism, time is a process while in Greek thought, time is a commodity. The 364 days of the year are divided into 52 parshiot (torah portions) that Jews "live" and punctuated by Jewish Holidays-Hagim. For a philosophy of Jewish time as a process see this article.
