Aviv: The Torah Movement’s Epic Struggle to Determine a True and Accurate Calendar

Aviv: The Torah Movement's Epic Struggle to Determine a True and Accurate Calendar, by Kraig and Anne Elliott (2026)

THE CALENDAR! It’s not just a matter of dates and days; it’s a crucial element of our Torah walk. The biblical calendar is at the center of a heated debate, with numerous interpretations vying for attention. New calendars are being introduced, each claiming to be the “true” one. The urgency of settling this controversy cannot be overstated.

Who is right? If you ask questions about the calendar, you are called divisive. Thousands of years of understanding the biblical calendar have been carelessly tossed out as inaccurate. For some, looking at Scripture is “not enough,” and we are told we need to look at man-made sources to find the truth.

On top of all this, the Jewish calendar has been around for almost 1700 years. Don’t the Jews know what they are doing? Shouldn’t their calendar validate the Bible and the accuracy of generations of following God’s calendar?

Kraig and Anne Elliott, in their new book Aviv: The Torah Movement’s Epic Struggle to Determine a True and Accurate Calendar, seek to answer these questions once and for all. They reference all the Scriptures, evaluate all the arguments, and look at historical sources and archeology to help you determine which calendar is correct.

This book will give you a deeper understanding of the biblical calendar and its significance in your Torah walk. Bring an open mind and your Bible as you journey into this critical Torah requirement. The consequences of misunderstanding the biblical calendar are significant. No one wants to be separated from God’s people because they failed to do His feasts, His mo'edim, at the right time.
