Excerpt from The Second Day of the Festivals: A Sermon at the New Synagogue, Great St. Helen's, on the Second Day of Passover, 5628Although the New Year was fixed for the date that had been arrived at by astronomical calculation, its actual solemnization did not commence until after the new moon had been actually observed. This observation had to be reported to the great Sanhedrin, who thereupon proclaimed the festival. When such observation had not been reported by the 30th day of Ellul, the following day was also observed as a festival in J erusalem, * but two days were invariably kept in all other places, both those situated in and out of the Holy Land.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
