The question of where the Jewish day begins, and thus where to observe Shabbat when crossing the Pacific, has been debated since the Middle Ages. The Baal ha-Maor and later the Hazon Ish proposed distinct demarcation lines, often set 90 degrees east of Jerusalem. This subject illustrates the meeting of halakha, geography, and astronomy.
