Kiddush Levana

One who blesses the moon in its correct time is as if he met the Shechina… (Sanhedrin 42a)

How can we make the most of our monthly meeting with the Shechina? Rabbi Dovid Yaakov Zuckerberg led us through a shiur that explained many of the halachic details of Kiddush Levana, as well as some of the deeper meaning of this bracha.

Topics discussed included:

Why is it called Kiddush Levana?
What is the intent of Kiddush Levana?
When during the month, and on what day of the week should Kiddush Levana be said?
How should we prepare ourselves to say Kiddush Levana?
What’s with the dancing afterwards?
and much more!
