Word of the Month

Word of the Month - Parashat Noach

First opportunity for Kiddush L’vana this month (according to Minhag Yerushalayim) is Thursday night, October 22nd. Many people will wait for Motza"Sh.
Strict 7-days-after-the-molad people will have their first op on Sunday night, but only after 11:00pm, at which time the Moon will be low on the horizon and soon to set. Which means that Monday night is more likely for 7 day people.
Some people who wait for 7 days will take earlier opportunities during the rainy season (may it be HaShem’s will that it live up to its name), to avoid the risk of getting rained or clouded out night after night until the last op. OTOH many 7 day people keep it strictly throughout the year.
