YOU FOR GOT SOMETHING
You did not mention Rosh Chodesh is a G-d given Yom Tov to the women.This was one of the first things my Chabad Rabbi told me.

Rosh Chodesh.
Very nice presentation, THANKS.
Yes, the prayer is Birkat HaChodesh recited during Shabat Mevarchim.
Shabat Mevarchim is the last Shabat before Rosh Chodesh.

Absolutely wonderful!!
Beautiful graphics!!

i have often wondered about this question - its one of the most intriguing to me; ancient customs.

Is there a special prayer to be said for the Rosh Chodesh as it occurs each month?

Toda Rabba,
thanks again.
