When did our seasons started?
There are 6 TORA Seasons—3 Winter and 3 Summer Seasons How to understand the order as they are summed up in the Tora?
There are 6 seasons: 3 winter and 3 summer seasons
כב עֹד, כָּל-יְמֵי הָאָרֶץ: זֶרַע וְקָצִיר וְקֹר וָחֹם וְקַיִץ וָחֹרֶף, וְיוֹם וָלַיְלָה–לֹא יִשְׁבֹּתוּ.
