Kiddush HaChodesh, sanctifying the new month, is such an important Jewish practice that it constitutes the very first mitzva commanded of Bnai Yisrael in the Torah. Rashi draws our attention to its importance, and we find that this allows man to determine the holy days in the Jewish calendar and thus makes man a partner with the Almighty in sanctifying time. This volume brings the reader an in-depth study of the prayers, laws and customs of Rosh Chodesh, by exploring their sources, structure and halachic implications. We find here illuminating commentary as well as anecdotes, parables and homilies from many great Sages, both ancient and modern. "The Commentators' Rosh Chodesh" will inspire and enlighten you and renew you appreciation and understanding of the uniqueness of the Hebrew calendar along with the renewal of the moon every month of the year.NOTES: Donated by Judah & Sheri Miles during the first BH book drive.
