Research Notes for ๐ค‰๐ค…๐คŒ (yauam):

  • Some hold the belief that ๐ค‰๐ค…๐คŒ (yauam) begins at sunset and ends the following sunset based on the writings in ๐ค๐ค“๐ค€๐ค”๐ค‰๐ค• (BaRaashayat). However, this may be a practice that was adopted from the time of exile in Babylon (Babal) as they began their days at sunset.
  • Another belief that has emerged from the greater community is the belief that the day begins at sunrise and ends at the following sunrise since the people of The Most High would begin their days working in the fields with sunlight.
  • However, a day is counted from sunrise to sunset, which is when people would be most active and working. At the time of sunset, it is no longer a day but a night. The people of the time would only count the days or hours when there was light for their activities and calendar.
