LUACH is valid in Collins, not in North America — 10 points

What does LUACH mean in Scrabble?
noun
A Jewish calendar, especially a printed calendar of Sabbaths, festivals, and readings for the Jewish year.
A luach comes from the Hebrew word for a tablet or board, the same image used for the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments. Synagogues and Jewish households commonly hang a luach each year to track the changing dates of the Jewish festivals, which shift relative to the standard calendar. The word is used both for the physical calendar and, less often, for a tablet inscribed with a sacred text.
