Month of Tevet
Tevet is the tenth month in the Jewish calendar. It is a month of prayer and fasting, as well as a remembrance of historical events that took place. It celebrates the victory of the Israelites over the Assyrians in 333 B.C. It is also the month of commemoration of the death of Nehemiah, the leader who rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem.
Month of Cheshvan
Scorpio is known by the Hebrew name Akrav and the Aramaic name Cheshvan (in some sources it is also called Mar-Jeshvan, meaning bitter). Since the letters of the name Cheshvan (Jet-Shin-Vav-Nun) are similar to those of the Hebrew word cheshvon, meaning bead, they serve as a sign of the internal beads that the person must keep this month.
Month of Tishrei
Tishrei is the dearest of months, as it is the seventh month since Nissan, the month of redemption and Jewish independence. Tishrei is characterized as the most satiated of months because it is filled with more mitzvot and festivals than any other month of the year. The word seven is associated with the feeling of being satisfied.
