No Kiddush for Rosh Chodesh? What if Rosh Chodesh starts on Shabbat? Reply
Ok

in response to J:
Then you would.
It's just if someone decides to make a meal on a random Rosh Chodesh Tuesday, there's no need for Kiddush.

Not so good, 8/11 nebekh!
I forgot some things along the way when I left the faith.

I got 9 out of 10. It seemed like a very easy quiz, until I came to question 10. I had no idea that you were supposed to avoid anything on Rosh Chodesh, although I have heard that some women don't do laundry on Rosh Chodesh, but that wasn't one of the choices. Reply

So what happened when you got to question 11? You just stopped at number 10, because you got it wrong? That's not very good sportsmanship! Reply

I didn't stop at #10. I guessed wrong on #10, but went on to #11, & got that right. Reply

I often celebrate Rosh Chodesh with other Jewish women. We often go for a soak together, and bless the moon, but we do not have a feast. Thus I got the Kiddush question wrong, and I did not know that Hallel is sung on Rosh Chodesh. Is it sung by men in a synagogue? Reply

Really enjoy them every time. My 9/11 this time include several very lucky guesses, where I really had no idea what the right answer might be. Reply

Wow, this was a little difficult. Sorry, but I must have not read clearly the second question for I had to skip and go on to the questions. I had to reread about HOW Rosh Chodesh was declared, I just took a guess...kissed my Star of David and took a GUESS, and I got it correct. The was a slap-a-rue. Quiz was a good one. Reply
