Today is: Shabbat, Kislev 23, 5766

======================
Today's Laws & Customs
======================

• Blessing the New Month

This Shabbat is Shabbat Mevarchim ("the Shabbat that blesses" the new month): a special prayer is recited blessing the Rosh Chodesh ("Head of the Month") of upcoming month of Tevet, which falls on next Shabbat and the following Sunday. Prior to the blessing, we announce the precise time of the moled, the "birth" of the new moon.

It is a Chabad custom to recite the entire book of Psalms before morning prayers, and to conduct farbrenges (chassidic gatherings) in the course of the Shabbat.
