7 years start today

Dear Calendar People:

Starting today, the Traditional (fixed arithmetic) Hebrew calendar and my Rectified Hebrew calendar agree on all dates for 7 consecutive years.

A switch to the Rectified Hebrew calendar any time in this interval would happen without any date jump.

Now all you have to do is convince some prominent Rabbies to start using the new calendar!  However I'm afraid it might take more than 7 years to do that... :-(

Irv replies:  Starting to use the new calendar is not a problem, de facto the entire World switched today -- today the World begins a 7-year trial of the new calendar!

All that is needed is a decision to remain on the new calendar when, 7 years from now, the Traditional Hebrew calendar will insert a leap month one year before the Rectified Hebrew calendar will...
