Daylight Savings Time commences midnight of the first Saturday night ! 96: # following the seven-day festival of Pesach (Passover). The transition ! 97: # is from midnight Israel Standard Time to 1 a.m. Israel Daylight Savings ! 98: # time. As the Pesach festival is dependent on the Lunar calendar (the ! 99: # first day is always on the 15th day of the month of Nisan), the rule ! 100: # changes every year on the Gregorian calendar. ! 101: # ! 102: # 2.

The transition ! 105: # is from midnight Israel Daylight Savings time to 11 p.m. Israel Standard ! 106: # Time. The law (according to the Ashkenazi custom) concerning the ! 107: # commencement of the Selichot prayers is described in chapter 128, section ! 108: # 5 of the "Code of Jewish Law," by Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried (translated by ! 109: # Hyman E. Goldin): ! 110: # ! 111: # Beginning with the Sunday [**] before Rosh Hashanah [***], ! 112: # we rise early for the service of Selichot (supplications for ! 113: # forgiveness). If Rosh Hashanah occurs on Monday or Tuesday, we ! 114: # begin saying the Selichot from the Sunday of the preceding week. ! 115: # ! 116: # This, too, varies from year to year on the Gregorian calendar and, thus, ! 117: # two explicit timezone rules are required for each Gregorian year. ! 118: # ! 119: # [**] actually Saturday night as the Jewish day commences at nightfall. ! 120: # [***] the Jewish Lunar New Year. !
