In the original Hebrew calendar, years number 3, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17, and 19 within a 19-year pattern (makhzor, plural:makhzorim) are leap. When converted to [[19edo]], this results in [[5L 2s]] mode, and simply the diatonic major scale.

Following this logic, a temperament can be constructed for the Rectified Hebrew calendar (see below), containing 130 notes of the 353edo scale. Hebrew[130] scale has 334\353 as its generator, which is a supermajor seventh, or alternately, 19\353, about a third-tone, since inverting the generator has no effect on the scale. Using such small of a generator helps explore the 353edo's "upside down" side.

Using such small of a generator helps explore the 353edo's "upside down" side. In addition, every sub-pattern in a 19-note generator is actually a Hebrew makhzor, that is a mini-19edo on its own, until it is truncated to an 11-note pattern. Just as the original calendar reform consists of 18 makhzorim with 1 hendecaeteris, Hebrew[130] scale consists of a stack of naively 18 "major scales" finished with one 11-edo tetratonic.

Such a temperament stretches 19edo so that 15\19 corresponds to [[7/4]]. When measured relative to the generator, the error is less than 1 in 5000. In the 13-limit, the it tempers out [[3136/3125]], [[4394/4375]], [[10985/10976]], and [[1968512/1953125]].
