−	===That Day===	+	===On That Day===
		+	The day Rabbi Eleazer ben Azarya was appointed as Nasi was a historically significant day due to the changes he instituted in the Bais Medrash and the great Torah debates that took place on that day, leading to many important Halachic conclusions. It was on this day that the discussions of Masseches Adiyus took place. When ever it says in the Talmud "on that day" it is referring to this day, other then the few times it is referring to the great debate between Bais Shami and Bais Hillel that took place in the attic of Chanaya ben Chizkyah ben Gurion.
		+
		+	===Torah Open to All===
		+	Raban Gamliel had established a rule only allowing into the great Bais Medrash of the Sages students that had been screened and found worthy. When Rabbi Eleazer ben Azarya became Nasi he removed the guards from the Bais Medrash and allowed all Torah students to enter. On that day a few hundred benches were added to the Bais Medrash to accommodate all the new students.
		+
		+	===Presidency Reverted to Rabbi Gamliel===
		+	On that day Rabbi Gamliel also came to participate in the Torah debates in the Bais Medrash despite having just been impeached from position of Nasi. During a debate he had with Rabbi Yehoshua regarding Yehuda the Amonite convert, Rabbi Gamliel acknowledged his supremacy in Torah and apologized for publicly degrading him. After the apology was issued, the Sages once again reinstated Rabbi Gamliel as Nasi but from then on he had to partially share the position with Rabbi Eleazar ben Azariah. Rabban Gamliel would give the presidential sermon two out of every three Shabbasim and Rabbi Eleazar ben Azariah would give the remaining Shabbos. According to some opinions Rabbi Eleazar ben Azariah was also appointed as Av Bais Din, a position formally held by Rabbi Yehoshua. Rabbi Gamliel and Rabbi Eleazar ben Azariah shared this position in friendship and peace, often working together for the benefit of the nation.

Rabbi Dosa ben Hurkanu according to some opinions was over four hundred years old at the time and has seen Ezra. According to other opinions he owned a portrait of Ezra or had seen him in visions or mystical revelations.

−	Shalom of Safed developed the art of microcalligraphy in Tzfat in the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s. New artists, such as Moshe Dadon, continue the tradition, creating work of microcalligraphy in which the artist writes scriptural or other holy texts in diminutive lettering. The text is incorporated into the paintings as the paintings themselves illustrate the text. A microcalligraphy artist can create a vision of an entire Book of the Bible on a sheet of parchment, paper or canvas.	+	[[Shalom-of-Safed-Microcalligraphy\|Shalom of Safed]] developed the art of [[Microcalligraphy in Safed\|microcalligraphy in Tzfat]] in the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s.

−	Moshe Dadon grew up in Casablanca where he was taught to write prayer books and other holy texts in tiny writing. Young Jewish boys in Morocco were taught this skill so that Jews could carry their holy books and other ritual items through the streets and Islamic mobs would not discover these holy books during their periodic rampages through the Jewish Quarter. Moshe learned the art of “sofer-stam” -- ritual scribe -- at the age of eight. Dadon moved to Israel in 1962 and settled in ~~Tzfat~~, finding work as a police inspector with the Tzfat police department. He continued to engage in his hobby of creating artwork based on microcalligraphy.	+	Moshe Dadon grew up in Casablanca where he was taught to write prayer books and other holy texts in tiny writing.

−	Some of Dadon’s best-known works include the Book of Genesis in which the text is inserted into a globe as Noah’s Ark floats by, the Book of Leviticus as illustrated by a model of The Temple in Jerusalem and the Book of Psalms written into a scene of Old Country Klezmer musicians. Other well-known works include the Book of Joshua which depicts the Menorah of the Ark of the Covenant surrounded by doves and the verses that relate the story of Eliezer and Rivka as they meet at the well. Moshe also explores Kabbalah with a microcalligraphy painting of the Ten Sephirot surrounded by text from the Kabbalistic Zohar and he includes Tzfat scenes in some of his works which display Sabbath prayers and songs amongst the cobbled lanes and stone homes of the Old ~~Jewish Quarter~~ of Safed.	+	Some of Dadon’s best-known works include the Book of Genesis in which the text is inserted into a globe as Noah’s Ark floats by, the Book of Leviticus as illustrated by a model of The Temple in Jerusalem and the Book of Psalms written into a scene of Old Country Klezmer musicians.

	Composite window frames consist of composite materials which tend to produce a stable replacement window with durable structural and thermal properties. They also display good moisture and decay resistance.

−	Homeowners can find replacement composite windows to fit any window opening, in any window style that they wish to install in their house. Replacement composite windows are available as single-hung, double-hung, casement, sliders, awning and hopper windows and more. Homeowners may also purchase replacement composite windows as non-operable windows.	+	Homeowners can find replacement composite windows to fit any window opening, in any window style that they wish to install in their house.

	Window frames conduct heat. The rate at which a window frame conducts heat contributes to a window's overall energy efficiency, called the "U-factor." Ratings for energy-efficient windows are judged by the window's U-factor.		Window frames conduct heat. The rate at which a window frame conducts heat contributes to a window's overall energy efficiency, called the "U-factor." Ratings for energy-efficient windows are judged by the window's U-factor.
	The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) rates the U-factor of windows. Their rating judges a window assembly's rate of heat loss. Low U-factor ratings indicate that a window has a strong resistance to heat flow and is a well-insulated window. Homeowners should review the U-factor rating of their replacement composite window to determine which window will meet their needs.

	All composite replacement windows are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes. Composite windows can be purchased in standard sizes or may be custom-ordered, including custom-ordered arches and half-rounds. Sizes of composite windows start at 15-inch long or wide windows for a small opening and can be found in full-length six-foot sizes for a full-wall opening. Composite windows can also be joined together to create a three-window bay window or a four-window bow window.		All composite replacement windows are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes.
