Extrait du cours

in the month of Heshvan, but it's already Rosh Chodesh. As we well know, in the Hebrew calendar , every other month is 30 days. There are months that are 29 days. For those who wonder why Rosh Chodesh is sometimes like this and sometimes like that, well, we know that the calculations of the moon, not only written in the Talmud in tractate Rosh Hashanah, but proven by NASA, show the moon renews itself, finishing its cycle every 29 and a half days.

in the month of Heshvan, but it's already Rosh Chodesh. As we well know, in the Hebrew calendar , every other month is 30 days. There are months that are 29 days. For those who wonder why Rosh Chodesh is sometimes like this and sometimes like that, well, we know that the calculations of the moon, not only written in the Talmud in tractate Rosh Hashanah, but proven by NASA, show the moon renews itself, finishing its cycle every 29 and a half days.

Well, after the and a half, point five, there are still several more digits. And if we multiply that by the year, that means multiplying by 12, how much is 29 and a half multiplied by? 354, bravo. But we have a slight offset because the sun, the time it takes to finish its circuit, is 365 days.

On average, every year, we have an 11- day gap between the lunar cycle and the sun. So in the Hebrew calendar, how do we handle it? Well, every three years, on average, right. Every seven times in 21 years, in 20 years, we add another month of Adar.

That is what is going to happen this year. And we fill in as we go, this, uh , 11-day gap which is about 33 days every three years. Those who don't use the Hebrew calendar , like the Muslims, it's only the moon. So you can clearly see there is a gap because every year it shifts back 11 days.

That's why sometimes Ramadan is in the winter, sometimes it's in the summer . And in the secular Gregorian calendar, as we call it, Gregory 500 years ago, he decided that every few hundred years, we simply erase from the calendar, we skip a few days to catch up because the sun is too far ahead. But our calendar, it is the first mitzvah in the Torah. HaChodesh Hazeh Lachem, Rosh Chodashim.

The first mitzvah as a people, God asked that the calendar be exact and that Passover would always fall in the month of Spring. And that is why, dear friends, we cannot celebrate Rosh Chodesh every 29 and a half days. So what do we do? One month 29 and the following month 30 days, and the 30th and the 1st is already Rosh Chodesh because 29 and a half, we have already moved into the new month.

So that is why today we still call it the 30th of Heshvan, but we already wish everyone a happy Rosh Chodesh Kislev. Well, since tomorrow we will officially be in Kislev, starting tomorrow we will stop—or rather, we won't stop— constantly saying that we need Kislev full of happiness. The day is beautiful, and in Hebrew, when we talk about Kislev: "Kis" is the pocket, and "lev" is the heart, even if it is spelled with a vav. But anyway, everything we can take to heart and improve, we do it.

Regarding what concerns us today from a Halakhic perspective, we know that in the Shulchan Aruch, in Siman 419, there are special Halakhot for Rosh Chodesh. We must dress better.
