This almanac, published by James Rivington in New York in 1774, contains a unique feature: a Hebrew calendar for the year 5535. The Hebrew calendar section includes an explanation of Purim and Hanukkah, followed by a month-by-month listing of holidays and fast days. This is considered one of the earliest Hebrew calendars printed in the Americas. The almanac also includes seven pages dedicated to John Hancock's Boston Massacre oration of March 5, 1774. The Portuguese spelling of certain Hebrew terms suggests collaboration with a Portuguese Jew in its creation. The almanac is considered rare.
