Getting married on Rosh Chodesh cheshvan- good or bad? I know getting married on a Rosh Chodesh is considered good luck but what about for this month in particular?
Hey Anonymous,
The Sefer Haminhagim Chabad (p. 76) writes that one should not get married during this month. That would seemingly include the 1st of the month, Rosh Chodesh.
However, while that is the Chabad custom, there are those that encourage marriage during the month of Cheshvan. See Sdei Chemed Volume 7. According to those opinions, it would definitely be auspicious to get married on Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan.
This is superstition
