183.0. "Sundown Time Needed" by IONIAN::GOLDMAN () Mon Sep 08 1986 08:35

Does anyone have a Hebrew calender handy?

I need to know the sundown time for Saturday, October 10, 1987.  Since this is
beyond the next Hebrew calender year, if someone could give me the sundown time
for this year's date and comment on how much it could vary from next year's
I'd *really* appreciate it!

I'm getting married on that date and need to know the sundown time so that I
can have the ceremony as early as possible without violating shabbat.

Also, if you don't have one, can you tell me where I can pick one up?
I live and work in Marlborough.

Thanks in advance.

Matt

183.1	Try this....	TAV02::ALLIN1V2	Le'Chaim	`Mon Sep 08 1986 10:14`	11
	You could try calling up the Bostoner Rebbe in Brookline. I'm sure someone there will be able to give you the information you need. I don't have the phone number off hand but his name is: Rabbi Levi Yitchak Horovitz. Good Luck Cb.
183.2	Try another date...	GRECO::FRYDMAN		`Mon Sep 08 1986 11:01`	11
	Mazel Tov on your upcoming marriage. I think you need to check with your Rabbi about Oct. 10th. Your date presents a problem---it's Chol ha-Mo'ed Sukkot. Weddings cannot be performed--That's because one isn't supposed to "mix together" various reasons for happiness. You wouldn't be able to find a sukkah large enough for the wedding dinner anyway. BTW The Bostoner Rebbe's number is (617) 734-5100. --Av
183.3	Thank You	IONIAN::GOLDMAN		`Mon Sep 08 1986 13:05`	8
	Re .all: Thanks for the info. I called Bostoner Rebbe and was given a time of 6:11 PM. As far as changing the date is concerned, I'm kind of committed. However, I will double check with my Rabbi. Matt
183.4	Not to dispute with the Bostoner Rebbe, but	5394::MINOW	Martin Minow -- DECtalk Engineering	`Mon Sep 08 1986 13:10`	7
	6:11 PM is for Boston, Marlbourough is 6:12. If anyone's interested, I have a program that calculates astrononmical sunrise/sunset (any date/time/place). Martin.
183.5	havdalah wedding	HECTOR::RICHARDSON		`Mon Sep 08 1986 13:18`	8
	Apart from when Sukkot comes out next year, there are some people who are a little suspicious of weddings on Saturday night (though I've been to weddings then myself). I think the concern about "havdalah weddings" is that someone might have been behind the scenes doing work on Shabbat to prepare for the wedding. So, if you invite relatives who are REALLY STRICT, they still might be somewhat uncomfortable about it all. That may not be an issue, depending on your guest list.
