Under new law, as of Jan 1, we are required to recycle old threads. Letting them out into the atmosphere can cause global cooling, warming, lead, nuts, pollen and all other dangers of modern discovery.

Hi guys
I’m from NYC. We won’t be doing recycling here, as of January 1

Even with this intercalation, the average Hebrew calendar year is longer by about 6 minutes and 2525/57 seconds than the current mean solar year, so that every 224 years, the Hebrew calendar will fall a day behind the current mean solar year; and about every 231 years it will fall a day behind the Gregorian calendar year.
so i guess it happened recently

DaasYochid is right.
It’s more like when it rains on the day of your chasunah.
Actually, Jewish Thinker, our day will of course have started with

Hopefully this year Moshiach will come and it will be a happy day
