    Function getMoladAsDate

    • Returns the moment of the molad as a Temporal.ZonedDateTime in the UTC zone.

      The molad is computed in Jerusalem standard time and then converted, so the returned instant is correct year-round; only the zone of the returned object is UTC. This method subtracts 20.94 minutes (20 minutes and 56.496 seconds) from the computed time — Har Habayis, at longitude 35.2354°, is 5.2354° away from the multiple-of-15 timezone longitude — to get to standard time. Daylight savings time is intentionally not applied; adjust when formatting for display.

      Parameters

      Returns ZonedDateTime

      the Temporal.ZonedDateTime representing the moment of the molad
