That misses the point. Their calendar is based around the sun and the moon. The fact is that Lunar eclipses in a succession of 4, falling on 4 Jewish feast days, only has occured in history during extremely significant events for Israel. For over 500 years this did not happen. However the only 2 times it did was the year Israel became a nation, and the year the got Jerusalem back.
