2. How The Molad Impacts Todays Calendar

[Applause] [Music] in the last session we discussed that the moon goes around the earth and it takes 29 days 12 hours 44 minutes in acrylic and every time every month we have the shasta milan which is the moment of the new moon this is the basis of the calendar i want to talk a little bit about the implications of the time of the milan when the might occurs as is discussed in the gemara rosh hashanah that's going to be the that's going to be the determinant of the day of rosh hashanah the first step in determining the calendar is to know the shasta milad for the month of tishrei so for example this past rosh hashanah was on tuesday why was it on tuesday the answer is is the my lot of tishrei tough shin pay bays occurred on monday night at 11 27 pm and 11 khalakim this time of the mail odd this was a time again as we explained based on the average this time goes all the way back to pre-assailant when the world was created on the marisha and ayamaras islam on rosh hashanah it was a friday that other mauritian was created on that day the maillad occurred at 8 a.m on friday morning and from that moment on we add 29 days 12 hours 44 minutes and a half to every month again there's leap years which we'll talk about a little bit later and we come to tough shape bays all the years later we come to tough champay bays and we get to my lot so this time of the mile for tishrei is based on a heisman that we calculated all the way back to pre-assailant so if the my line was at 11 27 pm and 1 on monday night so that's lishi and therefore rosh hashanah was on yamcha she was on tuesday because the mail that occurred on tuesday and therefore when hillary cheney established the calendar in 4119 which is 359 in the common era and he determined that rosh hashanah of tough should pay bays should be on tuesday and therefore is on tuesday wednesday and yum kippur was on thursday and circus was on tuesday wednesday and was on wednesday thursday etc all of that was based on this time of the milan that occurred on monday night monday night is tuesday and therefore shoshannah had to be on tuesday now what's interesting is is that the iker myla the primary mylad of the year and really the only mylar that we work with to determine the months and to determine exactly how the year and months are laid out is the myelin of tissue because why is it that we look at this coming year we all got a calendar of this year and we know that next pesach will be on shabbos and schwooz is going to be on sunday in tough shape base and next rosh hashanah is going to be on a monday the reason is is because the the my lad for tough shin pay gimmel hubba leno taiva is going to be on sunday night at 9 00 p.m and six khalikam sunday night is yamchaini so next rosh hashanah has to occur on shaini and the way the year is determined this year happens to be a leap year we'll we'll discuss exactly why it's a leap year and we'll see we'll see the gemara in roshana's discussion of that as well but let's just take on at this point that it's a leap year so we need 13 months so we took the mileage of tishrei of tough ship paybays and we add the money for the next month 29 days 12 hours 44 minutes and a helic for and then we do it again for kiss slave and again and we'll announce every single month and then we come to again 13 months later and we determine based on the milan that's on sunday night that rosh hashanah has to be on monday so what we know based on the shasta milan is that rosh hashanah tough should pay bays had to have been on a tuesday which it was based on the shots of milan and then rosh hashanah of tough shape gimmel has to be on a monday based on the shasam island all the other months will then fall into place and that is how the year is determined in other words technically the reason why reshred this year was on wednesday and thursday it was not because the my life was on wednesday night the reason why the mother was on wednesday and thursday was because rosh hashanah was on tuesday and wednesday meaning what i mean to say is that all we primarily all we care about in determining the year is the milot of tishrei this tishrei and the milot of the following tishrei and then we say okay how do i make this work how do i make rosh hashanah on a tuesday this year and rosh hashanah on monday next year in a leap year in order to do that we need 384 days basically we need 55 weeks minus a day it's going to be almost 55 weeks 54 weeks and six days that's how long tough should pay pays has to be so very simple to do that we need 384 days how do we do that there are two months during the year and kislev which could be 29 or 30 days in other words every other month is already set tishrei is always 30 days te-base is always 29 days schwart is always 30 days although re-shining in a leap year which we have this year is always 30 days either shaney or other in a regular year other hassam nissan is always 29 days nissan is 30 er is 29. steven is 30. thomas is 29 of his 30 el is 29 always so it doesn't matter when the milot fell out it makes no difference we're looking at this roshana and next rosh hashanah how many days do i need we need 384 days this year to facilitate that we're going to make hezman 29 days hazal ghazal said let's make hezhan 29 days and kiss slave 30 days by doing that that's called considron because we go crusader titus rate's 30. cancer is 29. kislev is 30 davis is 29 it goes casidra it goes cassayder there are some years for example let's take a shot where we have the first rosh hashanah has to be on a monday and the next rosh hashanah based on the calculations of the milad have to be on thursday so how do we facilitate rosh hashanah of one year on a monday and rashad of next year on thursday we're talking about a non-leap year we need 353 days that's 50 weeks and three days in order to facilitate that we're going to make heisman and kitslave both 29 days that year is known as a huster because it's missing we have tishrei 30 casual 29 kiss slave 29 teve is 29 3 months in a row of 29 days and only shabbat we get to 30 and then you'll have of course one day versus three months in a row when when that happens so then then it will work we'll make sure that rosh hashanah falls out on the correct day in the following year and that's how the years work a year could be 353 days 354 days 355 days shanab or in an ibrahiar it could be 384 or 385 days let's say rosh hashanah of this year needs to be on a monday and rosh hashanah of next year needs to be on a thursday to facilitate that we need to have 353 days in the year and therefore will make reject only khasir will make them both 29 days only 29 days and that will mean that the next rosh hashanah will have rosh hashanah on a monday the following pace that will be on a tuesday and then rosh hashanah will be on a thursday the year will have 353 days because slave were only 29 days and that means rich she'll have three months in a row where we'll only have one day everest if you need a constituent as we explained it's 29 30. if you need a chalet let's say this rosh hashanah is a monday and next rosh hashanah has to fall out on a shabbos to facilitate that in the sharpshooter in a regular year will need to have days will need to have heiser and kislev both 30 days that's known as a sholem and therefore we'll have cashmere kislyak 30 days that will make sure that rosh hashanah if you just go through the months and you see every month switches off twenty nine thirty again you'll have kind of a kiss like thirty and then shiva will be twenty nine and um to shout out excuse me tavis will be twenty nine shadow be thirty and so on you'll end up with roshana on the correct day now in an ibra yard in a leap year you have an extra 30 days the extra month on the re-shine is always going to be 30 days so you get extra 30 days that's four weeks and two days it'll either be 383 384 or 385 again as we mentioned this year is 384 days that is the most that is the rarest number of days in the year it's the least frequent number of days that we can have in a year last time we had such a year was um 1994 1995 that would have been tough shin nun hey was the last time we had 384 days 385 days is an interesting year because it's a leap year and the days the following year will repeat themselves in other words you'll have let's say rosh hashanah is on a shabbos and you want to have 385 days that means you have 55 complete weeks so next rosh hashanah is going to be on a shabbos again so you'll have an ibuyer you'll have an extra other and kiss like both 30 days that's a packed jam packed with days 385 days 55 weeks rosh hashanah this year will be on a shambhas rashad and next year will be on a shabbos arushan this year will be on a thursday and roshana next year will once again be on a thursday or you could have monday to monday right you'll never have tuesday rosh hashanah repeated you'll never have a shame with the with rashaan on a tuesday but you could have the other days of the week of shalom in the leap year and therefore rosh hashanah and sukkas and so on uh um typhoon pesach and so on will will repeat themselves okay so that's the basis of the year so we've seen that the iker mylad of the year is the myelin of tishrei that determines when rosh hashanah is it's ironic that the one mile of the year that we don't announce out loud is the myelin of tishrei the minig most keyless is to announce the milad on champs of arkham which we have every month though that announcement really does not impact the rosh haidish what impacts is the mileage of tishrei and then the months fall into place tishrei of this year this week of next year and then everything lines up as is and again in kislev you have to you have to base on how many days in the year you need but the shasta milo really doesn't make a difference passions we announced to milo it's proper to know the time of the mileage there is an important point of knowing the milan and that is for the recitation of kinish lavonna which we'll briefly mention it's really suggested that members but briefly you can only say kervana at the earliest only three days after the shasta milan that's the earliest okay we're not going to get into al-aqsa if you wait for months of shambhas and or some have a minute to wait longer the shibuya brings down the earliest possible time to say the the kitchen of honor is three days after the milan the latest time the ramos says based on the my reel is halfway between one mainland and the next now you'll understand what the rama means in cement where he says you could say kineshlavana you know what that means that means halfway between one myelin and the next huff tests are the days your days are the hours sag are the number of seven hundred and ninety three khalakkem the ramada doesn't deal with minutes drama deals with only khalakkem for an hour and therefore in an hour an hour has one thousand eight khalakhim 44 minutes and one helix is equivalent to 793 khalakim and therefore the the khatsi khaftas your face means halfway between halfway up 29 days 12 hours 44 minutes and one heilig which is 14 days 18 hours 22 minutes and a half of helic from the shasta my lod that's how much time you have to say kenishavana for again after after the three day mark but from the shasta milan after you've passed the three-day mark you have from the time of the mighty line up to the latest time of 14 days 18 hours 22 minutes and helix so the shasta mileage is important in determining the seif's man kirishlavana the latest time for the recitation of kenoshavana now they're complicated with the time which we're not going to get into but exactly is is the time you shall lying exactly the same time that it was as the my life time dictates there have been times change changes to the clock over the years that's one issue the second issue in allah deals with is do you have to subtract the hours that's the shasamayala time in yushalayam in let's say new york it's seven hours back so the shasta my life that they announced is you shalom time but we're really seven hours earlier so do you have to for kids sylvanas says do you deduct those seven hours this is a a lengthy discussion but one just we could appreciate exactly the mechanics of this discussion and exactly what the issue is at hand because now we have a better understanding of of of the shasta milan one other important point is that we mentioned that the days of every month are kavula are set with the exception of kashmir cashmere kislife 29 days or 30 days the poisskin speak about why was hydrogen and kisslife chosen some say it was early in the year but another reason given is because in the summer you would run into problems if you start changing the number of days of the month for example during sphero if you were to change ear or or nissan and you would have a different day of schwelis because it's the 50th day of sphero and if all of a sudden you make ear 30 days is going to be a different day and the summer is an issue because of the set number of days that happened between shush vasa matamus and then between thomas and el in the 40 days imagine being on rc night you don't want to tamper with aldor the number of days between purim and pesach so reject and kiss slave are safe so to speak they're they're not in any problematic time though we can ask a question on this because the fact that kiss slave sometimes 29 days sometimes 30 days leads to some confusion because if a person was born on the eighth day of hanukkah their birthday is not necessarily the bar mitzvah is not necessarily going to be on the eighth day of hanukkah because the eighth day of hanukkah could be the second or third of teves if there's 29 days in there's only 29 days in kislev then the last day hanukkah is kimmel teves and if there's 30 days then the last day of hanukkah will be based so it's the gay yard sites the the the the notes be careful if a person has yard said it and the hanukkah don't go by today you have to go by the entires a person could have a yard sign on gimelte base and the and the terror took place on the last day hanukkah but yet in some years the art side said they have to hanukkah so it's confusing so what's that what's the shot so i was thinking perhaps we could answer by saying that we know that the venom took away dish mila and shabbos mila of course is is such an important mitzvah it's it's a hallmark of every jewish boy and shabbos of course is shabbos is school can i call a torah it's so so important why do they pick rish khaidesh they pick rich because they wanted to tamper with the young taiwan if we don't know what rosh haidesh is we don't know when sukkas is we don't know what pesach is we don't know what purim is such a fundamental part of the year and they tampered with it to attempt to confuse claudia into not knowing when rich is and therefore when yanta is and when the bar mitzvahs are in your sights and we live by the days we live chrysler lives by the by the calendar and therefore they tampered with it so perhaps to we go ahead and we when is the ticking of the calendar next rosh hashanah hibaleno taiva as we mentioned the tough shape gimbal is going to be on a monday because the my lot is going to be on sunday night so how do we make sure that that happens you know l is going to have 29 days however our shuttle is going to be on sunday next year how do we make sure that happens it just doesn't just occur the answer is we make sure to make freshman restricted slave one day for 29 days and kiss slaves 30 days and by doing that and then the rest of the months follow the regular pattern ah now rosh hashanah so technically it's during heidi's kislev that we're conveying the calendar for the rest of the year where kaiveh starting with the with restrainers kislev by being one day that's the beginning of the of the ticket of the calendar so that it's fixed properly for the year and the makha mapatis the final nail to ensure that next rosh hashanah occurs on the proper day occurs right in the middle of hanukkah we're gonna have a 30th day of of kiss slave and then aleph teves and now we're set we're good to go tavis will be 29 days shout out will be 30 days we'll have a nibble yard and that makes sure that the calendar so during hanukkah when the when the ivanim wanted to take away this from us they wanted to of course which always falls out during hanukkah it's no coincidence but it's more than that the rest is significant because that's the reshredish that is kaveh the calendar for the entire year every single year it's during hanukkah so specifically during hanukkah we go ahead and we're massacring it because the the euvonim wanted to take it away from us the kashmir name stopped that and therefore until this day we're able to be kevin based on ghazal based on and celebrate the entire in their proper time you
