The reason we must adjust the Tekufas Tishri by 13 days because Pope Gregory in 1582 created a Gregorian calendar over Julian Caesar’s calendar by adjusting the calendar by 10 days. The other days difference had to do with a leap year for a complete century. Years divisible by 4 should be a leap year. The complete century is a hundred years. He changed it that only if is divisible by 400 will be a leap year. The years 1600 and 2000 were ok; The years 1700, 1800 and 1900 were not leap years any more. This makes the difference of another 3 days for a total of 13 days. This year the Sept tekufa (Tekufas Tishri) is Sept 22 or 265th day in the year. Adding the 13 days makes it 278. Sixty days from the tekufa is 338 which is Dec 4 in 2022.
