NAME

DateTime::Event::Jewish::Parshah - Calculate leyning for next shabbat

SYNOPSIS

use DateTime::Event::Jewish::Parshah qw(parshah);

my $parshah	= parshah(DateTime->today, $israel);

DESCRIPTION

Returns either a parshah name or a yom tov name for the Shabbat after the date supplied. The optional israel flag specifies whether to calculate the leyning for Israel or for the diaspora.

_initYomTov($year)

Internal function that initialises the yom tov table for the year in question.

nextShabbat($date)

Returns the next Shabbat which is strictly after $date. The returned object is a Hewbrew date.

$date is some sort of DateTime object; it does not matter which.

parshah($date ,[$israel])

Returns the parshah name or a yomtov name for the Shabbat strictly after $date.

$date is some sort of DateTime object; it does not matter which.

$israel is an optional flag to indicate that we should use the logic for Israel rather than the Diaspora.

See http://individual.utoronto.ca/kalendis/hebrew/parshah.htm for the logic of this code.

BUGS

DateTime::Calendar::Hebrew is not a sub-class of DateTime. It does not implement the all functionality of DateTime, and where it does implement it, it uses different names and interfaces. In particular, none of the arithmetic works.
