    Function shemiratHaLashon

    • Returns the Sefer Shemirat HaLashon reading scheduled for the given Hebrew date.

      Sefer Shemirat HaLashon (Rabbi Yisrael Meir Kagan, completed 1876) is a companion volume to the Chofetz Chaim. Like its companion the schedule is Hebrew-calendar driven: the same Hebrew date in different years receives the same reading, with separate tracks for common and leap years. Short Cheshvan and short Kislev fold the missing 30th day's reading into the 29th.

      Unlike most other calendars in this package, this function only accepts an HDate (not a Gregorian Date or absolute day number).

      Parameters

      • hdate: HDate

      Returns ShemiratHaLashonReading
