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)
