Handwritten notebook, calendar for 5703 (1942-1943). [Europe, 1942-1943].
Notebook (grid paper) with details of the Jewish calendar for the year 5703, aligned with months and days of the secular calendar.


Each page is dedicated to one of the months of the year, divided into days and weeks, with the Parashah, Haftarah and holidays noted. The notebook starts in Tishrei "September-October 1942" and ends in Elul "September 1943".
The scribe is unknown. Apparently, the notebook was written in the Nazi or Soviet occupied territories, during the Holocaust, as a replacement for a printed calendar unavailable to the scribe during those difficult times.
Many inscriptions (in pencil), with calculations related to the calendar and Moladot.


[7] leaves, with printed paper wrapper. 19.5 cm. Fair-good condition. Stains and wear. One leaf disconnected. Folds.
