Word of the Month

Word of the Month - Parshat Re'i

AV, spelled ALEF-BET, can be the Rashei Teivot (initials) of ELUL BA, Elul is coming. And so it is. On this last Shabbat of AV, we announce the coming month of Elul, whose Rosh Chodesh will be on Tuesday and Wednesday.

ROSH CHODESH ELUL YIY-HEH B’YOM SHLISHI UV’YOM RVII HABA ALEINU V’AL KOL YISRAEL L’TOVA:

The molad is TUE Aug 10, 6h 52m 0p, 7:31am (actual: 6:08am)

HAMOLAD YIY-HEH B’YOM SHLISHI, B’SHAA SHEISH BABOKER, CHAMISHIM USHTAYIM DAKOT.

Tuesday night, the eve of the first of Elul, we start saying T’hilim 27 (L’David) at the end of Maariv, and on Tuesday morning, at the end of Shacharit. Standard practice for Nusach S’fard is not to say it after Maariv, but at Mincha instead
