“When it comes to Jewish history, the number seven reigns supreme”

Somebody sent me a question the other day — I’m going to have to search to see who it was; I was simply under too much pressure from deadlines and trip preparations to attend to it at the time it arrived — about the origin of the seven-day week.

This article is just slightly relevant to that question.  Indeed, it’s scarcely relevant at all.  But not quite totally irrelevant.  Anyhow, it’s a rather interesting and educational piece in its own right, providing a brief and very Jewish perspective on some important events in modern history:
