Three Weeks of Mo(u)rning Part 3_Chmielnitsky Uprising

OK, so here we are, week three of our three-week series.

And we are going to address what is known in Jewish historiography as doesn't Doesn't translate quite into English.

As we saw last time with Tasnu, which was the name of the, that was given to the first Crusades, it's an acronym of the Hebrew years.

So, Taf-Chas and Taf-Tas, which is 408 and 409 of the fifth millennia.

But it's the year 1648 and 1649.

Just by the way, for historical purposes, the Hebrew year and the English year end in a similar numeral, except from Rosh Hashanah until the new year.

So it's currently 5786.

Right.

And 2026.

And then in about a month's time or so, two months time, it'll be 5787.

And then several months after that, it'll turn into 2027.

Four years behind on

the century, basically.

But so, you know, if you want to, that at least is a helpful way to approximate years.
