The name of the Parshah, "Pekudei," means "Amounts of" and it is found in Exodus 38:21.
An accounting is made of the gold, silver and copper donated by the people for the making of the Mishkan. Betzalel, Aholiav and their assistants make the eight priestly garments—the apron, breastplate, cloak, crown, hat, tunic, sash and breeches—according to the specifications communicated to Moses in the Parshah of Tetzaveh.
The Mishkan is completed and all its components are brought to Moses, who erects it and anoints it with the holy anointing oil, and initiates Aaron and his four sons into the priesthood. A cloud appears over the Mishkan, signifying the Divine Presence that has come to dwell within it.

Do we have a real accurate calendar not a pagan one?
yes we do
No calendar is truly accurate. Each one is adjusted as more technical improvements are made. I would call this a traditional calendar that suits our spiritual life. We have a second calendar for our business life there may be a third for science
