Hirsch Summary
When should a boy who is born on Friday evening, uncertain whether it is before or after the onset of dusk, be circumcised? Isaac ben Salomo Saruco decides: on Sunday. [Regarding the calculation of the beginning of the night, compare the book 'Berith Abraham' by my great-grandfather, Rabbi Dr. B. H. Auerbach.]
