The New Moon

All: May His great name be blessed for ever and all time. Mourner: Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, raised and honored, uplifted and lauded be the name of the Holy One, blessed be He, beyond any blessing, song, praise and consolation uttered in the world - and say: Amen. May there be great peace from heaven, and good lives for us and all Israel — and say: Amen. Bow, take three steps back, as if taking leave of the Divine Presence, then bow, first left, then right, then center, while saying: May He who makes peace in His high places, make peace for us and all Israel — and say: Amen. All sing: mai0 Good are the radiant stars our God created; He formed them with knowledge, understanding and deliberation. He gave them strength and might to rule throughout the world. Full of splendor, radiating light, beautiful is their splendor throughout the world. Glad as they go forth, joyous as they return, they fulfill with awe their Creator's will. Glory and honor they give to His name, jubilation and song at the mention of His majesty. He called the sun into being and it shone with light. He looked and fashioned the form of the moon.
