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... The year started with a bang - an explosion of holy days, with a wide range of emotions. And although Tishrei is definitely a month, it does not feel like one. No announcement of its Rosh Chodesh, and hardly a mention of RH's status as a Rosh Chodesh. Enters Cheshvan - the first "normal" month of the new year. Shabbat B'reishit is ALWAYS m'vorchim Cheshvan. No other weekly sedra shares that claim.
