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!

[–] Hypocrite9554@lemmy.world 25 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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...)

[–] swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Ska fanatics would probably listen to Desmond Dekker or Justin Hinds that day.

It makes me so happy to see first wave recognized

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.

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

How is the first day of the seventh month also the beginning of the year on the same calendar?

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

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.

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.

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.

[–] SomeAmateur@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

If the woke get their way, pretty soon we won't have shark carols anymore they'll be illegal

Can I get a rudeboi Jesus, skankin it in OG holiday fashion?

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Sure bro, that sounds like it's within operational parameters

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It's not just ska, I'm a firm believer that a horn section makes any song better.

Rap example:

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm honestly impressed with the video more than anything. Fantastic camera work and editing

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Yeah, all her videos are that level.

Tobe Nwigwe makes really good ones too, but he's slowed down a little recently.

I had to look it up. It's referring to Rosh Hashanah. It's based on the Jewish Calendar.

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Rosh Hashanah

I don't know them. I haven't followed Ska since the 90s.

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You haven’t? That’s madness!

No regular work. Sounds great

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Only irregular work. Forbidden work.

[–] NKBTN@feddit.uk 1 points 15 hours ago

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.

[–] 52fighters@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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!

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

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)

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's the perfect day to bid people welcome to (god's) tragic kingdom!

[–] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You came in with the breeze on Sunday morning...

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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!

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 5 points 1 day ago

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. 😔

[–] kruhmaster@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Anybody else got Reel Big Fish bouncing around their head right now?

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 4 points 23 hours ago

RBF, Jeff Rosenstock, and Streetlight Manifesto. 24/7.

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

Looks like Canadians are the true followers of Christ.

ContextJuly 1st is Canada Day, which is a national holiday. It’s Canada’s version of July 4th.

[–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wouldn't it technically be the first of September? The actual 7th month?

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Duh, right. L'shahnah tova!

As a Gentile I always appreciated the day off around my birthday

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

So TMBG seems to have a permanent horn section. Are they ska now?

This tracks because the only good modern Christian band I can think of is Five Iron Frenzy
