I missed it, too, for the simple reason that I have no clue what the Gregorian calendar date is these days, so I didn’t think to look out for it. One of the lovely things about living in Eretz Yisroel is the ability to use only one set of dates — ours! The first time I wrote a check here and dated it the 4th of Av was really exciting. I also no longer need to remember each year the “Jewish date” for my kids birthday’s, as I can simply glance at their Teudat Zehut or passport!
