Religion: Jewish Celebration of Birkat Hachama

This evening the Jewish faith celebrates Birkat Hachama or the Blessing of the Sun. This celebration only occurs once every 28 years; when, by Jewish tradition, God initially created the Sun.

This year, the Birkat Hachama coincides with Passover, an extremely rare confulence, happening only 12 previous times in recorded Jewish history (over 5000 years).
