The first issue of TT was for a Shabbat Parshat Shlach that Jews in Chutz LaAretz were reading B’ha’a’lo’t’cha. Therefore, it contained the statistics for when Israel and Chutz LaAretz are out of synch for Parshat HaShavua. We’ve spoken of the issue in the last two issues, but have not yet supplied the stats. Here they are, as presented 10 years ago:

There are two situations that are three, when we in Israel go ahead in Parshat HaShavua.

Pesach from Shabbat to Friday (Shabbat) in a 12-month year, frequency 18%, last occurred 5758, next occurrence “scheduled” for 5772.

Pesach from Shabbat to Friday (Shabbat) in a 13-month year, frequency 10%, last occurred 5755, next occurrence “scheduled” for 5776.

Shavuot on Friday (and Shabbat), regardless of how many Adars in the year, frequency 28.5%, last occurred this year, next to occur next year.

Overall frequency, 56.5%, approx. 4 of 7 years.
