By RABBI SAMUEL FOX (Copyright 1978, JTA, Inc.) Some Hebrew months are of 29 days duration while others are of 30 days dura- tion. A Hebrew month begins with the initial appearance of the new moon. The tech- nical length of such a month is about 29 1/% days. Obvi- ously, if we were precise, the Hebrew month would there- fore be beginning in the middle of the day, so that part of the day would belong to the new month. This \is impractical.

Generally speak- ing, an attempt was made to make all those months that contain Jewish holidays to be of 30 days duration, while the others were of 29 days duration, all this with certain exceptions. Thus, the month of Tis- hri during which Rosh Hashana falls, the month of Kislev during which Hanuka falls, the month of Shevat during which Tu b'Shevat falls, the month of Nisan dur- ing which Passover falls, the month of Sivan dur- ing which Shavuot falls and the month of Av dur- ing which Tisha b'Av falls, are generally months of 30 days dura- tion. In order to balance the fractions, Heshvan is sometimes a full month and Kislev is sometimes a 29-day month. The beginning of the new month is announced in the synagogue at the public service on the Sabbath be- fore the new month begins. This is a replica of the tradition in the days of the Temple in Jerusalem when the new month was publicly announced on the day of its arrival by the rabbinical court. The reason fOr this was so that people understand that humans have a re- sponsibility to account for the passage of time, i.e., to make it as produc- tive as possible. Second, announcing the beginning of the month to come in public on Sabbath is a means of alerting the pub- lic to start to prepare for the specific holiday that is scheduled to appear during that month, i.e., to review the laws that appertain to that holiday and to prepare the detailed items neces- sary for the observance of that holiday. In the Jordan Valley, Galilee and the Carmel Range, bones of Early Man • were found with tools and remains of animals. The oldest of these remains date back over a million years. *ire Invited FACIAL HAIR PERMANENTLY REMOVED Eyebrows Neckline Arms Legs Recommended by Physicians FREE CONSULTATION SHIRLEY PERSIN Registered Electrologist ADVANCE BUILDING 23077 GREENFIELD, Room 260 Near Northland & Providence Hospital PHONE 557-1108 Over 20 Years Experience 20% Off • invitations -centerpieces •stationery Phyllis Billes 559-4343 .
