I was born on May 22, 1967; in the Gregorian calendar, that means my fortieth birthday is just over three weeks away. But I would like to point out that May 22, 1967 was also the 12 of Iyar, 5727 in the Hebrew calendar. Given that the Hebrew calendar is lunar, it means my Hebrew and Gregorian birthdays rarely match up.
And today is 12 Iyar 5767, so by that ancient method of reckoning time, I am forty today.
Congratulations.
And what a lot of living you’ve done in those 40 years!
Thanks, K; wait ’till you see my next forty!
