Jewish Law in Finland
Question
How do you count 8 days until a circumcision in Finland?
And how do you count 7 days in order to observe the Sabbath?
There was a halakhic decisor who wrote that it is forbidden to live there…
What, in the Rabbi’s opinion, is the Jewish law?
Answer
It is very unlikely that living there would be forbidden. I think it is customary to count according to 24-hour periods.
