Today is: Wednesday, Shvat 8, 5772

=======================
Today in Jewish History
=======================

· End of the “Elders Era” (1228 BCE)

The last of the Elders (z'keinim) who were contemporaries of Joshua and outlived him, passed away in the year 2533 after creation. They were part of the chain of Torah transmission as listed at the beginning of Ethics of the Fathers: "Moses received the Torah from Sinai and gave it over to Joshua. Joshua gave it over to the Elders, the Elders to the Prophets..."

In ancient times, this day was marked as a fast day.

[Some are of the opinion that this occurred on the 5th of Shevat].

If I was offered to trade places with Abraham Our Father, I wouldn't do it. What would G-d get from this? He'd still have one Abraham and one Zushe!
