Question for Yamor:

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I must say, Mikado, I'm a little upset that you didn't go to me first on a Jewish question   Although, I will say that I am thrilled Yamor could answer it, because I wasn't sure if my answer was correct (even though it turned out to be )

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Sorry! I don't know why he chose to ask me either. Maybe because I've been quite active on this board recently.

It's no problem.  I'm thrilled to have two other posters (you and Purple State) who can answer questions about Judaism, in addition to me

While we're talking about Judaism, there's actually an extremely unusual Jewish tradition coming up in a couple of months, which happens only once every 28 years. It's a blessing on the sun recited on a 28 year cycle, and is when the sun reaches the equinox at the same time and day of the week as by creation. This is calculated using the rounded value of 365.25 days as the length of the year.

Awesome!  I'd never heard of this before.

In case it wasn't clear, guys, I was more joking than serious.  I just wanted to make that clear.

Yeah there is a facebook invite going around. It is quite an interesting event.

Really?  I haven't gotten anything yet.
