DAF DISCUSSIONS - ROSH HASHANAH 11

Sender Klein asks:

I don't understand why Tleh was not out in the day time in Iyar, if it started coming out at the last hours of night, shouldn't it have been fully up come the morning, and then stay throughout much of the day? It almost seems that the ones that were coming up in the day were only out at daytime, and same for those that came out at night, but that doesn't fit the picture I had that they're all on a circle.

The Kollel replies:

Dear Sender,

The Hebrew Artscroll edition 11b ft. 8 quotes the Vilna Gaon that the spiritual strength of the Mazal is mainly in its rising above the eastern horizon (and here this occurs in the last two hours of the night). Remaining in the sky afterwords is really a sinking-setting of its effect. So the Tleh in Iyar is called a night Mazal and "sinks" in the day.

All the best, Reuven Weiner
