Fourth month: Tevet טבת

In this month there are 29 days.

The name Tevet comes from, like the rest of the months names, from the exile in Babylon. In the language Akkadû Tevet was called Tebitu - which means something which you sink in to. It appears that following the rains and muds that features in this month, that's how the nickname for this month won it's name.

Events of this month:- The last two or three days left of Hannukah (depend if Kislev was a full or short month).
- Tenth of Tevet - (Asara beTebet) - (Fast Day)
(- On the 1st of Tebet, 362 B.C.E., Esther was crowned Queen of Persia.)
