In a regular (kesidran) year Kislev has 30 days, but because of the Rosh Hashanah postponement rules, in some years it can lose a day to make the year a "short" (chaser) year. Kislev is a month which occurs in November–December on the Gregorian calendar and is sometimes known as the month of dreams.

In Jewish Rabbinic literature, the month of Kislev is believed to correspond to the Tribe of Benjamin.[2]
