The Isar Calendar is the luni-solar system of dating and time-keeping used by most Isars. It blends elements of the Persian Jalaali solar calendar with the Biblical lunar calendar. This calendar originates in a particular Isaric Levite tradition. Significant features include the following: a lunar year that is dependent upon the solar year, which commences at the vernal equinox; 12 solar months with Persian names (e.g., Parwardin = 1st month); civil events are timed according to the solar year, while religious events are timed according to the lunar year, which begins with the first New Moon (i.e., the first slither of a crescent) after the vernal equinox.

An Introduction to the Celestial Courses & the Divisions of Time

The first book to detail the Isar calendar was, An Introduction to the Celestial Courses & the Divisions of Time, written in 2006 by Iacob le Léwite.

Author's Background:

Iacob le Léwite is the son of an Isar minister who serves among Southern Baptists. Iacob embraced Isarlaism during college and graduated Summa Cum Laude from L'Université de la Louisiane.

In 2006, Jacob began work on his first book, which he entitled, An Introduction to the Celestial Courses & the Divisions of Time: Basic Principles and Mathematics Behind the Isar Calendar. In the same year, he helped codify what is referred to as the "Pillars of the Way".
