still up in the air about what time to put on an invitation, and whether there
might be something wrong (at least on a personal, spirit-of-the-law level) with
setting one's wristwatch to another time.<BR><BR>Akiva

<DIV>There is a hint in halacha that it is OK to set your wristwatch ahead,
because we human beings actually never can know to the second exactly what time
it is. That's why we add extra minutes to the beginning and end of
Shabbos. In contrast,Hashem Himself does know to the second what time
Shabbos begins (and created a few things, like the donkey's mouth and Korach's
pit, at a time that for humans would have already been Shabbos -- see Pirkei
Avos).</DIV>
