Happy Birthday To The Sun!
« on: April 08, 2013, 02:50:42 PM »
Today, April 8, is 4 years since Birkat HaChama and 24 years to the next one. This is the first time in 4 years that Tekufat Nissan fell at 6:00 P.M. the evening before April 8 since 2009. It won't do so again on Tuesday Night until 2037, the day after the 8th Day of Passover.

I remember in 2009, I was thinking of things half a solar cycle ago (14 years). Now that's 18 years and I was watching old music videos on YouTube from back then when I was 13. Tekufat Nissan is like a time capsule that makes you reflect to the past.

The Sun is now 206 cycles and 4 years old since Creation on 4 Nissan, 1 Anno Mundo: 5,772 years.

I participated in Birkat HaChamah in 2009. I said it with my Chabad minyan at the time...



You shall make yourself the Festival of Sukkoth for seven days, when you gather in [the produce] from your threshing floor and your vat.And you shall rejoice in your Festival-you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, who are within your cities
Duet 16:13-14

Funny, but Nissan is a month (the month we are just now finishing)...

Will it be Toyota or Honda? Or will it be Ford's turn?
