Hello, John and Doves,

 

Sister Nancy, you may be thinking about the start of 11 Nisan 5773.

According to http://www.aish.com/jl/hol/o/48944546.html,

In Jewish time, the day begins with the onset of night (the appearance of the stars) followed by the morning (which technically begins with the appearance of the North Star). According to some Jewish teachers, night and morning begin with sunset and sunrise respectively. For that is how the Torah describes it: "And there was evening and there was morning, the first day."

With that in mind, consider how long it takes for you to begin to see stars after sunset.

You see, no one knows the day, nor the hour.  [Mark 13:32]

In reference to time difference, consider Daylight Savings Time.

According to http://www.worldtimezone.com/daylight.html,

Daylight Savings Time in Israel:                 in 2013 begins                in 2013 ends

Israel (Tel Aviv, Jerusalem)

29-Mar, 02:00h

06-Oct, 02:00h

 

Thus, as of March 22, 2013, Daylight Savings Time will not have started for Israel,

barring a change of times and laws forced on it by the Antichrist.

 

Now, we need to know two more data.

 

What is the relationship between EDT (Eastern Daylight Savings Time, which started on March 10, 2013  http://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst/2013.html) and UTC (formerly GMT), which does not observe daylight savings time?

EDT = UTC - 4 hours

UTC:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time

 

What is the relationship between Israel Standard Time (which ends Friday, March 29, 2013, when Daylight Savings Time begins for Israel) and UTC?

Israel Standard Time = UTC + 2 hours  (http://www.worldtimezone.com/)

See also:  http://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst/2013.html

 

Therefore, on March 22, 2013, EDT = Israel Standard Time - 7 hours.

 

~Blessings,

Mike

Does anyone know when sunset occurs this March 22 in Israel, and what the time difference is with Eastern Standard Time?
