This still leaves a very important question unanswered, however.
According to the Jewish calendar, this is the year 5766. According to the way that the Chinese count time, it is the 22nd year in the 78th 60-year cycle, or the year 4693.
So, for 1073 years... what did all of those Jews do without Chinese food?
No wonder they were wandering in the desert. They were looking for takeout!
(We wish all of our Jewish friends and neighbors a serene and peaceful fast and a blessed Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, today.)
