- Chaim_Zelig_Slonimsky abstract "Chaim Zelig Slonimsky (Białystok, March 31, 1810 – Warsaw, May 15, 1904) was a rabbi, mathematician, and inventor.He pioneered the education of Jews in Eastern Europe in science; to do this, he introduced a vocabulary of technical terms created partly by himself into the Hebrew language. His reputation as a strictly orthodox rabbi assured fellow Jews that his scientific teachings would not undermine religion.In 1842, Slonimski created a calculating machine, which he exhibited to the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences; he was awarded the Demidov Prize of 2,500 roubles. In 1844, he published a formula for calculating the Jewish calendar that was far simpler than previously known methods. In 1853 he invented a chemical process for plating iron vessels with lead to prevent corrosion, and in 1856 a device for sending quadruple telegrams. The system of multiple telegraphy perfected by Lord Kelvin in 1858 was based on Slonimski's discovery.He corresponded with several scientists, notably Alexander von Humboldt, and wrote a sketch of Humboldt's life.Slonimski attracted controversy by pointing out that the length of the year assumed by the Jewish calendar is slightly too long, so that the calendar is very slowly getting out of line with the true motion of the sun. He also discussed where the date-line should be for the purposes of the Jewish religion; this would affect the days when Jews in the Far East and in Australasia should observe the Sabbath and festivals. Noting that the position of the date-line must depend on Jerusalem and not on Greenwich, he argued that the line must pass between China and Japan, so that the former and the Philippines are in the Far East, and the latter in the West.Zabludow city council named a street after him.".
