And if moving the hours isn't enough, they are also planning to move days! Recently it was announced that the algorithm for determining the date of Yom Haaztmaut (as well as Yom Hazicaron and Yom Hashoa) will be changed this year, making all known Hebrew calendar software produce "wrong" results. What will they think of next? Hmm, wouldn't it be convenient if Succot is moved up two weeks, to reduce the chances of rain on your Succa? :) There should be a law preventing politicians from messing with our space-time continuum ;) -- Nadav Har'El | Wednesday, Mar 17 2004, 24 Adar 5764 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-790466, ICQ 13349191 |A cat has claws ending its paws.
