I've recently realized that I failed to provide information for the new year in a timely manner! I plan to provide the corrected Samaritan calendar later today. I apologize for this delay!
Update: I may not be able to calculate the entire calendar today, but I can provide the beginning of the year and passover dates:
First day of the year: March 20, 2023 (sundown)
Passover (Pesach): on April 2, 2023 (at twilight)
Feast of Unleavened Bread (Chag HaMatzot): April 3 - 9, 2023 (begins and ends at sundown.)
This year we (B'nei Moshe members) will be a month earlier than the erroneous Samaritan calendar which fixed the vernal equinox to March 25th, failing to take into account the drift of the vernal equinox earlier over the years (albeit very slowly.) Nowadays the vernal equinox falls between March 20th and 21st, and for this reason we begin the year at the first new moon after the true vernal equinox.
