Indeed. That would make A118661, which appears to have used  
Mathematica for its generation wrong...

The fourth-last term given corresponds to 1974. By the way, the  
coding is JewishNewYear[n][[3]] (not [[2]]), but given that this  
coding will not (necessarily) give the correct date, the entire  
sequence needs revisiting. In fact, because the associated month- 
sequence...

%S A118662  
9,9,10,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,10,9,9,10,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,10,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,10,9,9,

... is dependent on the same Mathematica code, it will likely have a  
couple of errors as well.
