Keri

Keri is a Hebrew term which literally means "happenstance", "frivolity" or "contrariness" and has come to mean " seminal emission". The term is generally used in Jewish law to refer specifically to the regulations and rituals concerning the emission of semen, whether by nocturnal emission, or by sexual activity. By extension, a man is said to be a ba'al keri ("one who has had a seminal emission") after he has ejaculated without yet completing the associated ritual cleansing requirements.

Keri (island)

Keri is a Estonian island in the Gulf of Finland. It is located about 6 km north of the island Prangli, and is one of the northernmost islands of Estonia. Keri is the site of the notable Keri Lighthouse.

Keri was first mentioned in 1623. Keri has been situated by important seaways a long time. Therefore, in 1719 a lighthouse was erected there on the order of Peter the Great. The present lighthouse was built in 1803. During a well drilling in 1902 natural gas was discovered. From 1906 to 1912 the gas was used to power the lighthouse and heat the other buildings on the island. During that time it was the only lighthouse in the world to be powered by natural gas. In 1912 after a seismic impulse the gas flow stopped. The island has been inhabited only by the families of the lighthouse keepers. The last keeper left the island in September 2002. Since then the lighthouse operates automatically; the power is derived from a wind turbine and solar panels.

Administratively the island belongs to the Kelnase village in Viimsi Parish, Harju County.
