«וְהָיָה מִ די חֹדֶשׁ בחָדְשֹׁו, ומִ די שַׁׁ בָת בשַׁׁ בַׁ ת ו»
And it shall come to pass that from one New Moon to another,
and from one Sabbath to another

Table of Laws and Customs for Jewish Communities
September 3, 2016 – October 2, 2016
The New Moon: Thursday night (1.9.16) at 1:56 a.m. and 3 Chalakim
Kiddush Levana (Sanctification of the Moon):
from Monday night, the eve of 3 Elul (5.9.16) to the end of Thursday night, eve of 13 Elul (16.9.16)
Kiddush Levana (according to Oriental communities): from Saturday night, 8 Elul (10.9.16)
Sunday, 1 Elul (4.9.16) – Second day of Rosh Chodesh Elul: Rosh Chodesh prayers.
We begin to blow the Shofar (teki’a – shevarim – teru’a – teki’a) every morning until 28 Elul, in order to arouse people to do teshuva.
We begin to recite ledavid Hashem ori at the shacharit and ‘arvit services (ashkenazim-chasidim and sefardim: at shacharit and
mincha) until the festival of Shemini ‘Atzeret.
It is the custom of our Oriental communities to rise every morning to recite selichot before ashmoret haboker from Sunday night, the
eve of 2 Elul (5.9.2016) and some do so at midnight. Some blow the shofar during selichot – when the chazan recites Vaya’avor.
