As most people know, the Jewish day does not run from midnight to midnight (which is all screwed up now thanks to Daylight Savings Time anyway) but from nightfall to sunset. Tonight, 9/24/'08, and tomorrow, 9/25/'08 (up until sunset) corresponds to 25 'Elul--which is in the Jewish tradition the day when G-d said "Yehi 'or!" ("Let there be light!"). It is the anniversary of the First Day of Creation. You will note that I said this is the anniversary "in Jewish tradition." If I had merely said "this is the anniversary of the first day of creation" I would have...

We are currently in the 5766th year of Creation, which is dated from the creation of 'Adam HaRi'shon on the Sixth Day of Creation, which is the first Ro'sh HaShanah. Counting backwards this corresponds to the year 3761 before the "common era."

Did the Sages of Israel at a certain point drift away or deviate from the ancient Mosaic calendar? Not at all. Nisan is indeed the "first...

I find this an excellent summary of these matters despite my disagreements with Dr. Satinover in other areas. The first commandment given to Israel as a people was the commandment concerning the new moon (Exodus 12). When HaShem told Moses to have every household in Israel to take a lamb or kid on "the tenth day of the first month" and then sacrifice it on the fourteenth, He was not...

'Lost river' could rewrite history books February 19 2002 at 08:33AM Madras India, - The discovery of an ancient city on the seabed off India's western coast has scientists salivating at the prospect of a fundamental rewrite in the chronology of ancient human society. Preliminary tests have suggested the site in the Gulf of Cambay off Gujarat state could date as far back as 7 500 BC, several thousand years older than what were previously known to be the first significant urban settlements.
