Although the rule for the calculation of Israel's Independence Day (Iyar 5 in the Jewish calendar, or April 23, 2007) is well-known, there have been reports of a few websites listing Iyar 6 (April 24, 2007) as the date of Independence Day in Israel for 2007, and this odd date has been given out to the enquiring public by some of Israel's embassies abroad. We are investigating the subject with our contacts in Israel, but will probably not get any replies until Saturday night, after the end of the Sabbath.See also: Follow-up post of March 25.
