Reform Men and Women In Provocation at the Kosel Monday morning a few minutes after nine, a group of no more
than twenty Reform Jews arrived at the Kosel ... Among the few achievements for religion in the current Knesset session that politicians can boast of, is the last- minute passage of the Religious Councils Law, intended to block the entry of Reform and Conservative representatives onto those councils. How to Worry Let's face it, worry seems to be an inborn human trait. And it seems women succumb to the tendency more often than men...
Bnei Brak at 75: City of Torah and Chassidus Additional Calendar Information: Molad: Monday night, Feb. 15, 10:36 P.M. On Shabbos we read Parshas Shekolim for maftir. The earliest time of Kiddush Levonoh - Adar The time of Kiddush Levonoh everywhere in the world begins when it is Thursday, the eve of 3 Adar (Feb. 18), 10:30 P.M., in Eretz Yisroel. In Eretz Yisroel itself and Europe it is impossible to make a brocho on Kiddush Levonoh at all that night because the moon sets before the earliest time. In all of America Kiddush Levonoh can be made from the beginning of Thursday night. People living in countries between America and Europe can make Kiddush Levonoh according to the difference in time zones in comparison to Eretz Yisroel. At this month there is solar eclipse together with the appearance of the new moon that follows the molad by approximately ten and a half hours, and is at 8:39 A.M. (The eclipse's peak is at 8:34 A.M. and will not be seen in Eretz Yisroel). The eclipse does not cause the beginning time of Kiddush Levonoh to start later since during the three days following the astronomical new moon the moon passes near its lowest point (perigee). It advances quickly and a great part of the moon's late appearance is canceled. During the following four days the moon passes that point and precedes extremely quickly. Until the time of "seven days" the moon has advanced even more than its calculated position according to the molad. The late appearance of the moon caused by the eclipse therefore does not influence the beginning time of Kiddush Levonoh. (See Birur Halocho, IV, Orach Chaim, 426)
