Who knows two hundred eighty-seven?
?שבעה ושמונים ומאתים - מי יודע
In the spirit of the song "Echad", please post interesting and significant Jewish facts about the number 287.
There are probably references to lazy gematria for this one scattered all over the place.
Check out mi-yodeya-series for the previous two hundred eighty-six entries in this ongoing series.
Please include sources for your information wherever possible, as with all other answers on this site.
Answer
The number of chalakim (that don't add up to a full hour) in a non-leap year is 876; in a leap year it is 589. The difference between these two figures is 287.
(From an allegory on the structure of the Jewish calendar)
