Today is: Thursday, Cheshvan 1, 5766
Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan
======================
Today's Laws & Customs
======================
• Rosh Chodesh Observances
Today is the second of the two Rosh Chodesh ("Head of the Month") days for the month of Cheshvan (when a month has 30 days, both the last day of the month and the first day of the following month serve as the following month's Rosh Chodesh).
Special portions are added to the daily prayers: Hallel (Psalms 113-118) is recited -- in its "partial" form -- following the Shacharit morning prayer, and the Yaaleh V'yavo prayer is added to the Amidah and to Grace After Meals; the additional Musaf prayer is said (when Rosh Chodesh is Shabbat, special additions are made to the Shabbat Musaf). Tachnun (confession of sins) and similar prayers are omitted.
Many have the custom to mark Rosh Chodesh with a festive meal and reduced work activity. The latter custom is prevalent amongst women, who have a special affinity with Rosh Chodesh -- the month being the feminine aspect of the Jewish Calendar [http://www.chabad.org/1208].

• Month of Cheshvan Begins
The month of Cheshvan is also called "Mar-Cheshvan." Mar means "bitter" -- an allusion to the fact that the month contains no festive days. Mar also means "water", alluding to the month's special connection with rains (the 7th of Cheshvan is the day on which Jews we begin praying for rain (in the Holy Land), and the Great Flood, which we read about in this week's Torah reading [http://www.chabad.org/9168], began on Cheshvan 17th).

NEW COURSE FROM THE JEWISH LEARNING INSTITUTE:
"Beyond Never Again: The Holocaust - A View from the Soul"
"Explore the ways in which the Holocaust continues to affect our generation and colors what it means to live as a Jew today.
"The Holocaust forces us to grapple with the existence of evil and suffering. It challenges us to find faith and optimism in the face of devastation and despair. And it awes us as we encounter heroes of the spirit who fought for truth and decency in the darkest of times."
