The Birth and Passing of Judah
The 15th of Sivan 1565 and 1466 BCE (acknowledged this year on June 5, 2012) is the Birth Judah. He passed away on the same date 119 years later, in Egypt.
Judah, the fourth son of Jacob and Leah. Judah means "to admit" -- as to admit a mistake, or to acknowledge in gratitude -- and is the source of the English word, Jew. Yehudah however is rooted in Hooda'ah which is thanks.
When Joseph was thrown into the pit, it was Judah who saved Joseph's life by suggesting his sale to a passing caravan. As atonement for not rescuing Joseph completely, Judah later offered his own life in place of Benjamin. At the end of Jacob's life, Judah was given the blessing of kingship, and indeed King David, King Solomon, and the future Messiah all descend from the tribe of Judah.
After the death of King Solomon in 797 BCE, the people of Israel split into two kingdoms: ten tribes formed the Kingdom of Israel in the north, and the tribes of Judah and Benjamin formed the Kingdom of Judea in the south.
