number - Shisha Ushloshim Ushlosh Meyot?


Who knows three hundred thirty six?


ששה ושלושים ושלוש מאות - מי יודע?‏


The traditional Passover song "Echad" implies a possible presupposition that there is a Jewish significance to be found for each natural number. Accordingly, there is an ongoing series on Mi Yodeya that is attempting to unearth significant Judaism facts about each number, in sequence.


What significant Judaism facts are there about the number 336? The more significant within Judaism and the more intrinsically dependent on the value 336, the stronger the answer. Please include sources for your information wherever possible, as with all other answers on this site.


Please refrain from providing lazy gematrias. They are, without question, not wanted.



Answer



There are 354 days in a "normal" Jewish Year and 18 days when we complete Hallel (in Israel) according to the Talmud.


354-18 = 336.



Thus, 336 days in a normal year in which we don't say a full hallel.
