Class Two: The idea that Hashem once kept the calendar, and the two opinions: 1) It wasn’t known at all until Yetzias Mitzrayim 2) It was known forgotten and relearned. Even according to the opinion that we knew it, it needed to be forgotten because of the darkness of Galus, that erased what was before…
