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... Conditions for Kiddush L'vana have been spotty so far this month. There have been some good opportunities, but not always when people were looking. So, if you have not said KL this month, the last opportunity, weather permitting, is Motza'ei Shabbat (Vai-chi) but only until 7:00pm. If the moon is well-visible after Maariv, you're in good shape. One needs to be extra diligent
during the winter, that if it is cloudy early in the evening, one should
check periodically. Had contact with the great rabbis of Europe, including the Vilna Gaon, who was 20 years his senior. [The
