Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish culture, the calendar was primarily lunar, and specific days of the month held significant religious importance. The fifteenth day of certain months was notable for the celebration of key festivals. For example, the fifteenth day of Nisan marks the beginning of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, following Passover. Similarly, the fifteenth day of Tishri is the start of the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot).
