Parashat B'har A weekly feature of Torah Tidbits to help clarify practical and conceptual aspects of the Jewish Calendar, thereby better fulfilling the mitzva of HaChodesh HaZeh Lachem... The Molad of Iyar was Wednesday night, May 3rd (correctly known as Leil Chamishi), 36 minutes and 17 chalakim (almost 57 seconds) after 9. The NIGUD (opposition) is half a Molad later, specifically 14 days, 18 hours and 22 minutes after the Molad. That would make it on Thursday afternoon. That means that the last opportunity for K.L. this mix-mooded month of Iyar is/was Wednesday, May 17th, all night. IYAR is 29 days long in our fixed calendar. It is completely within the Omer period. It's kind of a busy month. 1 is Rosh Chodesh (of course) 4 is Yom HaZikaron 5 is Yom HaAtzma'ut 10-13-17 is/are BAHA"B 14 is Pesach Sheni (a.k.a. Pesach Katan) 18 is Lag BaOmer 20 is the day we left Sinai, almost a year after Matan Torah 28 is Yom Yerushalayim (and the Yahrzeit of Shmuel HaNavi)
