Question

Yesterday was the first day of counting the 7 clean days. We were in Haifa. According to Google and Chabad daily times, sunset was at 16:36. The examination was done exactly at 16:49 (13 minutes after the estimated sunset). Can this be accepted as the first-day examination, or do we have to count the first day from today?

Answer

Shalom u’vracha,

You may regard yesterday as the first of the clean days.
