Birth
and Passing of Shimon (1567-1447 BCE) According to sources
cited in Seder Hadorot, Tevet 28 is both the birthday and the day
of passing of Shimon the son of Jacb; other sources place
the date as Tevet 21. (See the entry for Tevet
21). Sadducees
Ejected From Sanhedrin (81 BCE) Shimon ben Shetach
successfully completed the expulsion of the Sadducees (a sect which denied
the Oral Torah and the authority of the Sages) who had dominated the
Sanhedrin (Supreme Court), replacing them with his Torah-loyal disciples, on
the 28th of Tevet of the year 3680 from creation (81 BCE). Rebbetzin Chana
Schneerson (1879 (O.S.) - 1964), mother of the Lubavitcher
Rebbe, was born on Tevet 28. Link: A
biography of Rebbetzin Chana This Shabbat
is Shabbat Mevarchim ("the Shabbat that blesses"
the new month): a special prayer is recited blessing the Rosh Chodesh ("Head
of the Month") of upcoming month of Shevat, which falls on Monday of
next week. Prior to the
blessing, we announce the precise time of the molad, the
"birth" of the new moon. Click
here for molad times. It is a Chabad
custom to recite the entire book of Psalms before morning prayers, and to
conduct farbrengens (chassidic gatherings) in the course of
the Shabbat. Links: On
