This day is not July 1st.
Numbers is part of the old testament, before the calendar counting the days since Christ. It’s referring to the Jewish calendar instead.
In Judaism, the year starts on Rosh Hashanah, which usually occurs around mid-September. The first day of the 7th month would be somewhere in March.
Still doesn’t seem like Easter.
Christians should do a ska assembly on Rosh Hashanah!
I don’t care. I will take any excuse to listen to some Madness or the mighty mighty bosstones (ska fanatics please spare me i know the specials and selector exist…)
Ska fanatics would probably listen to Desmond Dekker or Justin Hinds that day.
It makes me so happy to see first wave recognized
People so rarely know
Little Jackmove maybe

Actually this is about Rosh Hashanah, which is the first day of the seventh month despite being the beginning of the year. Calendars are fun.
How is the first day of the seventh month also the beginning of the year on the same calendar?
Well, you know how the school year starts in September, and the fiscal year starts in July, and the calendar year starts in January, and those are all in the Gregorian calendar? Its sorta like that.
Okay, walk your logic with us here, buddy…
In the Jewish calendar, it’s the seventh month, so it isn’t the beginning of the year.
In the Gregorian calendar, it’s the third month, so it’s not the beginning of the year.
So which calendar are you using exactly?
Dude, it’s not my logic. It is literally how this particular calendar works.
I don’t think it’s too hard for you but it may be too foreign. People tend to underestimate just how different other cultures can be. Just accept that it can be the seventh month and also the new year. Actually, there are four different new years in the Hebrew calendar, and one of them is even in the middle of a month.
Got it. You didn’t explain it at all, but Wikipedia provided a decent summary:
Two of these dates are especially prominent:
1 Nisan is the ecclesiastical new year, i.e. the date from which months and festivals are counted.[23] Thus Passover (which begins on 15 Nisan) is described in the Torah as falling “in the first month”,[24] while Rosh Hashana (which begins on 1 Tishrei) is described as falling “in the seventh month”.[25] 1 Tishrei is the civil new year, and the date on which the year number advances. This date is known as Rosh Hashanah (lit. ‘head of the year’). Tishrei marks the end of one agricultural year and the beginning of another,[26] and thus 1 Tishrei is considered the new year for most agriculture-related commandments, including Shmita, Yovel, Maaser Rishon, Maaser Sheni, and Maaser Ani.
Just tell me what day kashrut law permits me to listen to Sublime, and I’ll do it… I have no desire to offend the old gods or the new.
Ironically that’s close to Labor Day, at least in the US.
This is a super meh format for the meme but it’s the same text so you get the idea
If Toyotathon and Shark Week were made holidays I certainly wouldn’t complain.
I want some Shark Week carols, and not that fog machine evangelical grade stuff. Something epic like “O Holy Sharks of the Dark Night Sea” or something lol
If the woke get their way, pretty soon we won’t have shark carols anymore they’ll be illegal
Ew an ad
What’s toyotathon? A sale on Toyota?
A bunch of BS, that’s what it is. Everyone knows this is a Happy Hondadays instance.

Yes, there’s probably details but you’d regularly see Toyota dealerships advertising “Toyotathon” about once a year, I think to clear out last year’s models or something. This is called a “sales event” because for some reason the automotive industry cannot simply call it a “sale.”
It’s not just ska, I’m a firm believer that a horn section makes any song better.
Rap example:
I’m honestly impressed with the video more than anything. Fantastic camera work and editing
Yeah, all her videos are that level.
Tobe Nwigwe makes really good ones too, but he’s slowed down a little recently.
more like rad example, am i right
Can I get a rudeboi Jesus, skankin it in OG holiday fashion?
Sure bro, that sounds like it’s within operational parameters
Sounds like something we should pick it up, pick it up, pick it up!
I think we should take it one step beyond.
I think I’ll have myself a beer instead.
I had to look it up. It’s referring to Rosh Hashanah. It’s based on the Jewish Calendar.
Rosh Hashanah
I don’t know them. I haven’t followed Ska since the 90s.
You haven’t? That’s madness!
Madness?!?
HEY YOU!
No regular work. Sounds great
Only irregular work. Forbidden work.
I’m up for it. As an American, this could easily turn into a week off work with July 4th just a few days later. Music, fireworks, and good food! It’ll be a great time!
Y’all deserve it with how little vacation time some of you get. I’m over here enjoying my bare minimum 28 annual days of PTO (though we count weekends unlike some other countries nearby)
It does, until you read the rest of the chapter, and realise you have to sacrifice a whole load of livestock and flour for a month, because god likes the smell.
It’s the perfect day to bid people welcome to (god’s) tragic kingdom!
You came in with the breeze on Sunday morning…
It really is one of those rare flawless albums where not only is there no bad or even mediocre songs, but every single one is an absolute banger!
It’s still one of my all time favourite albums. 😌
Nowadays it’s more like what’s your favourite YouTube channel and the world is a new and scary type of crazy. 😔
Anybody else got Reel Big Fish bouncing around their head right now?
RBF, Jeff Rosenstock, and Streetlight Manifesto. 24/7.
Looks like Canadians are the true followers of Christ.
Context
July 1st is Canada Day, which is a national holiday. It’s Canada’s version of July 4th.
Wouldn’t it technically be the first of September? The actual 7th month?
If we’re going by the Hebrew calendar it would be Rosh Hashanah, which starts on the first of the seventh month, which this year is on September 22
Duh, right. L’shahnah tova!
As a Gentile I always appreciated the day off around my birthday
This tracks because the only good modern Christian band I can think of is Five Iron Frenzy
So TMBG seems to have a permanent horn section. Are they ska now?
Don’t you know they only refer to the Old Testament when they want to justify heinous shit?
