A Leap Year.

My exhibition is about leap year, but before I'll(gr.) start to talk about the Leap Year, I must explain to you why it is happening(gr. - happens)
Well, there are three options for counting the year
One option is the Sidereal Year:










This is the time that gets(ww.) the earth orbiting the sun.
The sidereal year is made up of 12 months of 30 or 31 days. (which)
Sum(s) up of(to) 365 days(a year).


The second option is the Moon-Year.









The moon year is made up of 12 months of 29 or 30 days, (summing up to).
Sum up of 354 days. (a year).

The third option is the reason for the leap year .
This is the Jewish way for the calendar(phr.):

This calendar is the combination of the other two options I just wrote about.
Because of this combination we need to balance the calendar, so, we add 10 more days every year ...or what's happening at the leap year(phr. - or, as a whole month every 3 years, as it is done on a leap year)
Add one month every 3 years. Every month is the time the moon is orbiting the earth.

So like we talked about(As I mentioned before,), the leap year is the time when we add one more mounth for(ww. - to) the year, this is the time when we balance the Sidereal year with the Moon-year. The extra month that we add to the leap year is the Adar..
(month).
.
the reason for this is becase(מיותר) the difference between the ancient calendar and the modern calendar of today; the difference is the names of the months, and the order of the months.
.
In the ancient times there were no names for the months, they were called "month 1" "month 2" atc(etc. or and so on). In the ancient calendar the first month was the spring month, in Hebrew "Nisan", and the first holy day was the(מיותר) Passover in Hebrew "Pesah", and the last month was "Adar" not "Ellul"…so that’s why every leap year they added another is Adar, and not Ellul.
And this is also the best way to make sure that the(מיותר) Passover and Nosan will be in the spring.
- Your explanation is very messy and not very clear. You'll have to go over it again.

Italy

I would like to talk about Italy.
This place looks like heaven. There are beautiful green fields, amazing lakes, wonderful trees and flowers, small houses, big hostels and unbelievable decorations on the hostels. The whole place seems like a dream, and behind the beautiful view there are the great Dolomites mountains. The flag of Italy is made from 3 colors:
the red symbolizes the blood that was spilled during the wars of all the blood that spilled while the wars there.
The white symbolize all the snow at the dolomites.
The green symbolize all the green fields.






.
I've been in Italy three months ago with my mom. Italy is located in southern Europe, it also shares it's northern Alpines with France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia.
.
There are so many things to see there. Like Verona – the town of Romeo and Juliet. Venice - "the city on water" - its true, the whole city is really on the water, the trains built on the water, the buildings are all on the water, and the people there don't have cars they have boats! The Dolomites – ,the huge and amazing mountains, are so high and cold that even at the hottest season there, it is still snowing. The pizzas and spaghetties are truly like a gourmet meal.
.
To sum up, I think that my trip to Italy was a gift from god, it was unforgettable and I had so much fun.
Italy is so special and beautiful and unique and you should defiantly visit there too.
