Next Shemitah year is from 9/7/2021 to day of extraction on 9/25/2022.


Next Shemitah year is from 9/7/2021 to day of extraction on 9/25/2022. I know that adds up to more than 365 days for the Jewish calendar year but it's a leap year where they add an extra month Adar II. 

First day of the next Shemitah year... 
Tue, 7 September 2021 = 1st of Tishrei, 5782
א׳ בְּתִשְׁרֵי תשפ״ב
Parashat Vayeilech (in Diaspora)
Rosh Hashana 5782

Day of extraction next Shemitah year...
Sun, 25 September 2022 = 29th of Elul, 5782
כ״ט בֶּאֱלוּל תשפ״ב
Parashat Vayeilech (in Diaspora)
Erev Rosh Hashana

From and including: Tuesday, September 7, 2021
To, but not including Sunday, September 25, 2022
Result: 383 days
Or 1 year, 18 days = 118 

Counting the end date... 
Result: 384 days
Or 1 year, 19 days = 119

Interesting that the days between produce the number 118 and 119.
