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... Last Motza"Sh it was cloudy, and the moon
was a no-show for the first opportunity to say K.L. Many people said it on
one of the clear evenings that followed, but many
others are probably Motza"Sh K.L. sayers, or not at all. Although it is considered special to say K.L. on Motza'ei Shabbat, it can be said on any night of the week. And shuls will usually not organize or even announce K.L. after they have already said it, so you are on your own to remember K.L. if you missed the earlier opportunities to say it. K.L. is an extra challenge during the winter, when clouds often obscure the moon. [The
