Word of the Month

Parshat Vayishlach

A weekly feature of Torah Tidbits to help clarify practical and conceptual aspects of the Jewish Calendar, thereby better fulfilling the mitzva of HaChodesh HaZeh Lachem...

Deadline for Kiddush L'vana this month is 2:25am, early Friday morning, December 4th. K.L. is a special mitzva/bracha. Do it with joy.

The Israeli Committee for Lunar Crescent Observation (don't worry, I had never heard of it either before last week) is interested in expanding its network of observers in order to increase the reliability of the data it collects. I'll tell you more about it in coming weeks. Participation will be great practice for the time of the next Sanhedrin. If you are beginning to get excited about this, we'll be speaking to each other IY"H soon. Be in touch.
