The first sentence should have read:

"Jewish holidays for the year 2004 are as follows:"

Sorry about that.

Hi there,

For those who are intereseted in a more generic solution, not only
for the year 2004, I highly recommend a wonderful piece of software:

   http://u6.mit.edu/afs/sipb/project/sipbsrc/src/hebcal/

It was designed back in 1993 for Unix-like computers and I happily
have been using it till today. Unfortunately, no Windows port exist.

Here are the help page and a printout example of hebcal:

% hebcal help
hebcal: usage: hebcal [-dehostTw] [[month [day]] year]
               hebcal help
tpnrh102:tby% hebcal help
Hebcal Version 1.4

Hebcal prints out hebrew calendars one solar year at a time.
Given one numeric argument, it will print out the calendar
for that year.  Given two numeric argumetnts mm yyyy, it
prints out the calendar for month mm of year yyyy.
usage: hebcal [-dehostTw] [[month [day]] year]
               hebcal help

OPTIONS:
   -d : add hebrew dates
   -e : use european dates for OUTPUT ONLY (input format the same)
   -h : suppress holidays
   -o : add days of the omer
   -s : add weekly sedrot
   -t : only output for today's date
   -T : print today's pertinent information, no gregorian date
   -w : add day of the week

       hebcal help --- prints this message

Example:
   hebcal -ho
will just print out the days of the omer for the current year.

% hebcal -T
24th of Tevet, 5763

If someone out there ports it to Windows, it'll be a great advantage!

Regards,
        Yury
