Word of the Month

Word of the Month - Parshat Ki Tavo

5770 which is winding down (or up) is a P’shuta (12 months), Shaleim (Cheshvan and Kislev both 30 days), that began on Shabbat. Such a year type is always followed by a year that begins on a Thursday, of which there are four different year-types. 5771 will begin on Thursday (given) and it will be a M’UBERET (13 months), and also a Shaleim. Consecutive SHALEIM years are not so common (stats not available) because of the way that Shaleim, K’Seder, and Chaseir years help average the years out properly.

18 Elul is the 401st yahrzeit of the Maharal of Prague - Rabbi Yehuda Loew ben Betzalel
