The Maharil writes that we start saying ותן טל ומטר on the 22nd* day in November and
the siman is בך יבורך
ישראל
?
The Mahril (1365-1427) had the Julian calendar.
60 days from the Tekufah** was November 22.
In 1582 the Gregorian calendar was Introduced.60
days from the Tekufah
is Dec.4. (until year 2100 then it will be on Dec.5)***
*The Abudraham
mentions the 22nd & 23d
**Solar year
divided by 4 (Tekufos)
=91days, 7 hours +
x minutes
***every 100 years
it keeps moving up by
a day, except for
a century that is divisible
by 400 example
2,000 (in the year 2000
we didn't move to
the 5th

Notice this unfair double-standard:
ReplyDeleteEuropeans tolerate numerous Muslim
“no-go zones”, filled with Muslim immigrants.
But Europeans would NEVER tolerate even
ONE “no-go zone”, if it were created by Jews!

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:
“It is true that the American legal system
derives much of its content from the Old Testament
[also known as the Jewish Bible or Tanach]…
When we were growing up, my friends and I
would take great pride in discovering the
Jewish sources of American laws, such as:
the privilege against self-incrimination,
the requirement of two witnesses for certain
types of crime, and the very idea that punishment
must be proportionate to the crime committed.”

===================================
Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz
grew up Orthodox but later became secular.
He said this about Orthodox Judaism,
many years after he quit it:
“I cannot leave my progeny any legacy
comparable to the Orthodox commitment to,
and intimate knowledge of, Jewish tradition
and practice that my predecessors left me.
Though I have not abandoned my Jewishness
– far from it – I have also not carried on
the tradition of daily religious observance and
total immersion in the sources of the tradition.
Sometimes I regret not having done so.”

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:
“…Zecharia, like so many of his contemporaries,
worked for a time in a sweatshop.
The shop he worked in, making pocketbooks,
was located in a building just east of
Washington Square [in Manhattan], site of
the ill-fated Triangle Shirtwaist Company.
On the Saturday of the great fire in
[March 25,] 1911 [CE] that engulfed
the building and killed 145 workers,
Reb Zecharia was at home.
It was the Jewish Sabbath.
He learned two lessons from this:
he vowed that his children would never
become factory workers and he vowed that
they would never work on the Sabbath.”
CHRONOLOGY:
Zecharia Derschowitz moved from Galicia
to the USA in 1888 CE. He was the great-
grandfather of Alan M. Dershowitz.
