Right - in Israel in the Diaspora both the parashot and holidays are slightly different in subtle ways, but both have clear rules. All these means is that whatever code or file you have will need to have two options: jewish_diaspora and jewish_israel. Just like the "spanish" locale has different versions for Spain and Argentina, with subtle differences between them - which to the people of these places don't look all that subtle. see http://www.math.technion.ac.il/~rl/docs/reading.pdf for a brief but complete overview of calculating the parashot. -- Nadav Har'El | Wednesday, May 26 2010, 13 Sivan 5770 [email protected] |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |Some people bring happiness wherever they http://nadav.harel.org.il |go, others whenever they go. _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
