Why do solar eclipses keep falling on such noteworthy dates? In 2024, there will be a total of just 2 solar eclipses. The first happened on April 8th, 2024. That was known as the “Great American Eclipse of 2024”, and it occurred just after the sun had gone down in Israel and the first day of the first month on the Hebrew calendar had begun. The second solar eclipse of 2024 will take place on October 2nd. When it occurs, the sun will have just gone down in Israel and the festival of Rosh Hashanah will have just started.

I realize that this is a lot to process, and so let it sink in for a moment.
Is it just a coincidence that the first solar eclipse of 2024 just happened to fall on the very first day of the very first month on the Hebrew calendar, and the second solar eclipse of 2024 just happens to fall on the day that is celebrated as “the Jewish New Year”?
Let me try to break all of this down one step at a time.
According to Daily Galaxy, on October 2nd we will witness “a stunning annular solar eclipse”…
A mesmerizing astronomical event is on the horizon as the Moon prepares to pass between the Earth and the Sun, creating a stunning annular solar eclipse.
This rare celestial occurrence, where the Moon is positioned just far enough from Earth to leave a brilliant ring of sunlight visible around its silhouette, promises to captivate skywatchers with its unique and dramatic display. Known as the “ring of fire,” this phenomenon offers a breathtaking view that differs significantly from a total solar eclipse, where the Sun is completely obscured.
So exactly what is an “annular solar eclipse”?
It is when the moon crosses the face of the sun but does not completely block it out. When the moon is centered directly in front of the sun, a ring of sunlight is still visible around the moon, and that is why such an event is often called a “ring of fire” eclipse…
Annular eclipses are a very special type of solar eclipse. During an annular eclipse, the Moon is centered in front of the Sun but doesn’t completely obscure it, instead leaving a ring of sunlight visible around the Moon’s edges. This circle of light is called an annulus, or sometimes a “ring of fire.” Annular solar eclipses happen only when the Moon is at the furthest point from Earth in its orbit, making the Moon appear smaller than usual from the Earth’s perspective.
For those that are able to view this eclipse, it will truly be a once in a lifetime opportunity.
According to USA Today, the Moon will begin to cross the face of the Sun at 15:42 UTC…
- 15:42 UTC: Partial eclipse begins. A partial eclipse occurs when the moon, sun and Earth don’t perfectly align and only the outer shadow of the moon’s shadow is cast on the Earth.
- 16:50 UTC: Annular eclipse begins. An annular eclipse describes the moment the moon passes between the Earth and sun, creating the the illusion of a thin ring of sunlight around the moon.
- 18:45 UTC: Maximum eclipse beings. This happens when the moon completely covers the face of the sun.
- 20:39 UTC: Annular eclipse ends
- 21:47: Partial eclipse ends
15:42 UTC is 6:42 PM in Jerusalem.
On October 2nd, the sun will go down at 6:22 PM in Israel, and that is precisely when the festival of Rosh Hashanah will start.
So when this eclipse begins, the festival of Rosh Hashanah will have just commenced.
