Temple Beth Or Bulletin – April April 2009 ~ Nisan/Iyar 5769 A VIEW FROM THE PULPIT I am sometimes asked the cooperation and worship. Interfaith Montgomery, the question, “What is the most important interreligious clergy association, has endorsed the Jewish holiday?” Those who ask are event, as has Huntingdon College, and we have often surprised to hear my answer: planned an exciting program at 7:00 a.m. on Shabbat. Though we might not think Wednesday morning, April 8, at the Riverwalk Park of Shabbat since it comes up every Ampitheatre. The Montgomery Chorale and orchestra week, given its role through the will sing selections from Handl’s oratorio The centuries in defining Jewish life and Creation, and lead us in other songs appropriate to the keeping Jewish communities together our tradition occasion. The whole thing should take about 30 places Shabbat at the top of the list. minutes. No one has asked me if there is a least The focus that brings us together is the theme important Jewish holiday, though surely one of the of ecology and environment. I believe it to be a natural rarest is Birkat Ha-chama, the Blessing of the Sun. human impulse to express appreciation for Creation This rare holiday, observed only once every 28 years, and the beautiful world in which we live; less natural, derives from a discussion in the Babylonian Talmud perhaps, but equally important is our responsibility to that every 28 years the sun returns to the position that it protect our environment so that future generations will had when the universe was first created. Jewish be equally moved to express their own gratitude. tradition teaches that the sun was created in its spring equinox position, at the first hour of the night before That night, as the sun sets and Passover begins, the fourth day of Creation. Whenever the equinox is we celebrate a creation of another sort – the creation of thought to occur at the same time of the week, the sun the Jewish people as they leave behind the slavery they is said to have returned to its original position. knew in Egypt and begin their journey toward Sinai Though the astronomy is complex given changes in the and the promise of freedom. From my family to yours, calendar over the centuries, in our day the date occurs I wish you a joyous Passover, and abundant blessings. every 28 years 18 days after the vernal equinox, which this year falls on April 8. This time, too, the day ends Elliot L. Stevens with the first evening of Passover. I recall the last celebration, back in New York in 1981. Jewish groups in Brooklyn went down to Brighten Beach or Coney Island Beach at dawn, while Saturday, April 4 others commandeered the 86th floor observatory of the Monthly Shabbat Empire State Building, and greeted the sun with songs, Morning Service dancing and prayers. It was quite an event, and Saturday morning, April 4, promises to be so once again. Indeed, since the Rabbi Stevens will lead a juxtaposition of the Blessing of the Sun with the onset monthly Shabbat morning of Passover occurs less than once every thousand service, including Torah years, websites are springing up proclaiming all sorts reading and Torah of messianic expectations. study.

  • Hebrew Perpetual Calendar
    Moses’ Calendar Nicolino De Pasquale Università “G. D’Annunzio”, Chieti-Pescara, Italy ABSTRACT. A 7-day week justifies an use of a solar calendar for Jews. A rare prayer, Birkat Hachama, Leviticus and Odyssey book XII confirm such a hypothesis; also Exodus 26 and Psalm 90 have logical ties with solar computations. Adding a whole week once every 28 years, 1,120 years and 62,720 years we can reach a perfect value of the sidereal solar year, using a unique 7-year calendar, whose years can be named like the days of the week. Introduction In ancient times Jews certainly had a solar calendar. The structure of the 7-day week has in its own right univocal ties with the vague year, built on 365 days: the peculiarity is that the year welcome day and the year farewell day1 coincide with the same day of the week (fig. 1), because 7 is sub multiple of 364 (7x52=364)2. Y1 Reeshone 364 365 7 1 6 2 5 4 3 Figure 1 So we have only seven typologies of years (fig. 2), from Y1 Reeshone-year, which starts and ends with Reeshone day, to Y7 Shabbat-year, which starts and ends on Shabbat, passing through Y2 Shaynee-year, Y3 Shlee’shee-year, Y4 Revee’ee-year, Y5 Khah’mee’shee-year and Y6 Ha’shee’shee-year. The Hebrew week, not common in ancient Mediterranean civilizations (looking, for example, at Nuragics and Egyptians with their 10-day week), directly leads to a year with thirteen 28-day months (each one with 4 weeks) plus one day3; such typical months have to be named Hebrew months4.
