WORD OF THE MONTH
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... 

Kiddush L’vana UPDATE: Those who follow Minhag Yerushalayim seriously” will have already said KL this month, with the first opportunity on Motza’ei Shabbat Chazon.First op for the 7-day minhag is/was Tuesday night, August 5th, but 7-day people probably wait until after 9Av, like most people. Reminder: It is preferable to say KL after breaking one’s fast. It will also be common for people to wait until Motza’ei Shabbat Nachamu. That’s what most KL-saying Jews will do.

Last opportunity for KL is 14d 18h 22m after the previous molad (or before the next one - same thing), which comes to Tuesday, August 12th, 10:00pm.
Note that in England, the last op is 8:00pm, which is before sunset, which means that the last op is Monday night, all night. Similarly in North America. This happens sometimes: different nights.
