Don’t forget to “fall back” and check smoke detectors this weekend. Tonight, Motzoei Shabbos – or, more accurately, Sunday morning –  at 2 a.m., time will revert back to standard, giving everyone an extra hour to sleep in.
[This applies to Matzav.com readers in chutz la’aretz. Our Israeli readers and others in that time zone moved their clock back already.]
Since 2007, the time change has reverted to standard time on the first Sunday of November and changed to Daylight Savings Time on the second Sunday of March.
Hence the phrase, “Fall back, spring ahead” to help people remember which way to turn their clocks during what season.

There is no obvious alternative to Hariri as prime minister, a post reserved for a Sunni Muslim in Lebanon’s sectarian power-sharing system.
