Obscure fact: In Syria, student's examination cannot be scheduled on a Saturday. The rule was intended to accommodate the ridiculously small remaining community of Syrian Jews. It was also a propaganda tool for Hafiz Assad (father of the current President) to claim that he was anti-Zionist but not anti-Jewish. I wonder if Hafiz was aware that he was aiding "creeping rabbinical law" in Syria.
