Somebody was talking to me about the #MuslimCalendar, and it occurred to me that knowing the #JewishCalendar means I can calculate how the former cycles through the year.

The lunisolar Jewish Calendar has 7 leap months every 19 years, or 7 extra months every 235 months. It thus falls behind the pure-lunar Muslim Calendar at a unitless rate of 7/235 (on average). Thus, it takes 235/7 ≈ 33.6 years for the Muslim holidays to cycle through the solar year.
