Steve Morse has a new utility that he calls "When did."  It lets you ask general questions
relating the Jewish calendar to the civil calendar, such as "When did May 15 fall on a
Wednesday and come between Nisan 15 and Iyyar 15?"

Here are a few things you can do with this utility.

1. Obtain a list of yahrtzeit dates for a range of years.
2. Determine when the first day of Chanukah fell on Christmas day.
3. Determine if Yom Kippur ever occurred on a Saturday.
4. Determine when Easter fell on the first day of Passover.
5. Did the income tax due date ever occur on the Sabbath during Passover?
6. Find the last time Rosh Hashanah came in August.

The utility is in the Calendar section of his home page at http://www.stevemorse.org .
