 | | This, and the Molad Tishrei for the following year, determine whether the year needs to be defective, regular, or excessive, and the year's position in the 19-year cycle determines whether it is a leap year or a common year. |
 | | To find the Molad Tishrei for a given year, simply count from year 1 (starting with 2 days, 5 hours, and 204 halakhim as the Molad Tishrei for that year), counting 29 days, 12 hours, and 793 halakhim for each month. |
 | | These considerations may cause the actual date of 1 Tishrei to be postponed from the date of the Molad Tishrei. |
