                     93: # From 1989 onwards the rules are as follows:

                     95: # 1. Daylight Savings Time commences midnight of the first Saturday night
                     96: #    following the seven-day festival of Pesach (Passover).  The transition

                     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.

                    102: # 2. Standard Time is reinstated on the Saturday night whereupon Jews
                    103: #    following the Ashkenazi (European) rite begin to recite the Selichot
                    104: #    (forgiveness) prayers prior to the Jewish Lunar New Year.  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

                    114: #       begin saying the Selichot from the Sunday of the preceding week.
