47 Days
The twenty-ninth of November is a strange date in Israel. It's the only secular date that is referred to with Hebrew letters - "Kaf Tet B'November," the call it, rather than November 29th. The reason for this is that November 29th is the date of the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine of 1947 (Resolution 181). This plan recognized the need for a home for Jews in Israel while also giving about half of the British Mandate for Palestine to Arabs. The Zionists accepted the resolution, while the Arabs did not. This resolution laid the foundation for the modern State of Israel whose independence was declared just six months later.
Alright, enough history for a while.
