BLESSING THE NEW MONTH On the Shabbat before Rosh Hodesh, the following is said by the congregation, and repeated by the Leader: }¥1°7? May it be Your will, LORD our God and God of our fathers, to renew Berakhot for us this coming month for good and blessing.

Some say: May the Holy One, blessed be He, renew this new month for us and for all | His people, the house of Israel, for life and peace, gladness and joy, salvation and consolation; and let us say: Amen. a I a BLESSING OF THE NEW MOON Originally the New Moon was determined by the Sanhedrin on the basis of eye-witness testimony. Since this could not be precisely predicted in advance, the decision of the court had to be communicated to the Jewish communi- ties in Israel and elsewhere. At first this was done by lighting fire signals on hill-tops. Later it was done by messengers, and in the fourth century, when much of the Jewish population had been forced to leave Israel, Hillel 11
