[Avodah] The Molad of Tamuz

[Richard Fiedler]

The previous month the Molad of Sivan was Tuesday, 5:21 AM and 6 chalakim, which is 11 hours and 384 chalakim. That is 21 minutes times 18 chalakim per minute plus 6 chalakim.

From the Rambam this we know to get the next month we add 29 days 12 hours and 793 chalakim. Thus we would get Wednesday, 23 hours and 1,177 chalakim. There are 1080 chalakim in an hour so we would restate this as Thursday, 0 hours, and 97 chalakim.

Changing from Wednesday to Thursday is of course done at sunset which in this case happened at 6:45 PM Jerusalem Standard Time.
