The Jewish holiday of Sukkot begins tonight, and the first two holy days end Tuesday night about 45 minutes after sunset.
The Jewish holiday of Sukkot begins tonight, and the first two holy days end Tuesday night about 45 minutes after sunset.
Normally, that would be the earliest time that I would post.
But the US Supreme Court may be releasing its decision on Sholom Rubashkin's case tomorrow morning.
Not all FM readers are Jewish. Many who are not are victims of Rubashkin. Others are his friends. And some of FM's Jewish readers are not strictly observant in the Orthodox-haredi way.
Therefore I've made an arrangement with a non-Jewish friend to check for any US Supreme Court Rubashkin announcement and to post it.
And that should be what happens, unless there isn't anything to report – or unless I change my mind and decide overnight that whatever the news is, it will have to wait until Tuesday night to get posted.
At any rate, for those of you celebrating the holiday, Chag samayach!
Chag sameach!

... 45 minutes after sunset...
It really depends on how far away you are from the equator, and whether it's Autumn or Spring. In Caro it ends 36 minutes after sunset; in Melbourne it's 39 minutes; in Ankorage it's 63 minutes.

Rubashkin denied. Hardly a surprise. You want to change the laws, you do it legislatively.
