 * December 1, 2016 was 1 Kislev, hence "tonight" would be 2 Kislev 5777.
 * Year 5777 minus 50 = year 5727; that would have been Nov. 15, 1966
 * Yet YU's archives say "1888-1967"

Looks like 1966 is correct
CJH.org says 1888-1966
 * CJH.org = American Jewish Historical Society Center for Jewish History
 * CJH is a YU affiliate.
