In ordinary days, in orderly years

In ordinary days, in orderly years

On regular days when everything runs as it should. In a period when things are orderly, without any changes in the natural order of the world.

("Before the Temple was destroyed, the laws of the soul were nullified, and before that the years were in their proper order, and in most places emissaries or torchbearers had arrived" – Ḥatam Sofer, Tractate Pesachim 11b; and likewise: "This covering was purchased for her by her father in those good days, when the years were in their proper order" – Shalom Aleichem / The Club, 182; and likewise: "And when the years were in their proper order, so too, in a year that falls on one, all the more" – Agnon / Temol Shilshom, 302)
