So, if salt is so important, then how would you find evidence that salt is important? For that matter, how would you find evidence that the Crusades really happened? Ask your favorite reference librarian, perhaps, at your local public library branch? One of the key parts of our democracy, and of Phase I of the Four Freedoms movement is libraries, right?
(Is it time to eat a donut, yet, for Chanukah?)

Coolness, thank you, Ned!
I thought I remembered a mention in Condé’s Ségou about salt being related to that great city! 🙂
Got any good links for us, offhand, Ned? 🙂

About the calendar, you are right – Hebrew calendar is lunisolar. I was right too, in a way, when I guessed that the holidays were based on seasons, and the seasons depend on the sun, of course, or, rather, the earth’s rotation around the sun. The morning Korbanot in the Beit haMikdash were brought at the first ray of the sun, and Netz haChama is the earliest time for Shacharit.
Love,
