A Non-Jew’s Birthday
Question
Question: When is a non-Jew’s birthday according to Jewish law?
A practical implication: for the valuation of a non-Jew that I take upon myself.
By which date is he considered to have been born,
and also at what hour? In Judaism the day changes at sunset; maybe for a non-Jew it’s at 12 midnight.
Answer
I have no idea. I assume Jewish law goes by the Hebrew date.
