Description

We will learn numerous insights and messages from the birchas hachodesh that we recite on Shabbos Mevorchim. We will also discuss whether or not one is even allowed to recite this prayer on Shabbos. Finally, we will discuss the minhag of some shuls and chazanim to say בזכות תפלת רב or בזכות תפלת רבים.
