Yeah no... What if Solomon doesn't tell his age not because of any sacred reasons, but because the ancient chronology is so fucked up that he just can't recalculate it in normal years.

24 Tammuz 5784 (29-30 July 2024)

There is a midrashic saying that “whoever destroys a single life is considered by Scripture to have destroyed the whole world, and whoever saves a single life is considered by Scripture to have saved the whole world” and the 24th of Tammuz is the yahrzeit of a gentile who saved the world many times over.

Chiune Sugihara was a minor functionary in the Japanese foreign service, posted in 1939 to a consulate in Kaunas, Lithuania. As the possibility of a German invasion became clearer, Ashkenazi Jews flocked to the consulate seeking exit visas to escape Lithuania. While the Japanese government insisted on issuing visas only to those with sufficient funds for self support, Sugihara was well aware of the Nazi regime’s aim to eradicate the Jewish people. When his petitions to his superiors for exceptions to the visa policy were denied, Sugihara decided that the humanitarian needs of the Jewish population overrode the importance of abiding by policy. From the 12th of Tammuz to Rosh Chodesh Elul 5700, Sugihara spent 18-20 hours a day writing transit visas for Jewish refugees by hand, saving thousands of Jewish families from Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Lithuania. Sugihara’s one man campaign to provide documents for as many Jews as possible to escape the Nazis was stopped only by his own reassignment to Königsberg. He continued to write visas in his apartment and while traveling to the train station to depart, throwing them out the window to Jewish refugees gathered on the platform. Refugees report that Sugihara left his official stamp for use in forging additional visas after his departure, though his family denies that his violations of official policy went that far.

Sugihara lost his position in the Japanese foreign service after the war, possibly on account of the numerous unauthorized visas he distributed in Kaunas. It was several decades before any of the beneficiaries of his decision were able to find the man who had saved their lives by signing a single piece of paper. Sugihara lived the majority of his life in humble quiet. In 5745, he was recognized by Yad Vashem as one of the Righteous Among the Nations who had saved Jewish lives during the Shoah. He died on the 24th of Tammuz the following year.

O Christ, what can it mean for us To claim you as our king? What royal face have you revealed Whose praise the church would sing? Aspiring not to glory's height To power, wealth, and fame You walked a different, lowly way Another's will your aim You came, the image of our God To heal and to forgive To shed your blood for sinners' sake That we might rise and live To break the law of death you came The law of love to bring A diff'rent rule of righteousness A diff'rent kind of king
