The angle of the stone Torah matches the latitude. The sides of the Torah scroll give shadow - on the mornings the on left hand side, in the afternoon - the right hand side one. There are stripes in the middle which tell the hour when the shadow reaches them. Corrections between -15 and +15 minutes need to be made depending on the time of the year. Early April needs no adjournment. The sun time almost matches the civil time.
