[Avodah] Eis or Zman

[Cantor Wolberg]

: >>An eis is a  time that comes according to a prescheduled  
appointment,
: >>ready or  not. It is a point in a shanah, in cyclic time that runs  
its
:  >>celestial heartbeat regardless of human action. A zeman is a  
landmark  in
: >>the course of progression.

>>>>> I believe that "zman" is a date or a season and  "eis" is the  
>>>>> time of day.

As I see it, zman defines eis. Another way of looking at it: Eis is  
Universalistic
and Zman is Particularistic.
