Secular date

The Rav Name: Rabbis of the Da’at Institute
  • Question

Is there a problem in writing the secular date at the top of a page?

  • Answer
The preferable course of action is to write the Hebrew date at the head of a page, but if necessary one can write the secular date, as well. This is what was practiced by Jewish leaders, and the Rebbe Melech haMoshiach at the head, who used the secular date when answering people who wrote to him using the secular date.
