Nachum welcomed Rabbi Chaim Jachter to this morning's JM in the AM to discuss his latest book "Chiddush Levanah: New Insights and Clarifications of Kiddush Levanah."

From Amazon:

Kiddush Levanah, our monthly blessing praising Hashem for the moon’s “renewal,” is arguably our most intriguing, yet least understood berachah. Sadly, even most observant Jews recite Kiddush Levanah throughout their lives without having anything more than a vague understanding of this berachah. Indeed, Kiddush Levanah is not readily understandable merely from a cursory examination, and it demands our attention to understand its meaning and practices. Moreover, there is significant confusion regarding its halachot, which require considerable clarification.

This sefer was written to fill these gaps. Join us as we take a deep dive into Kiddush Levanah and reveal its unparalleled beauty and logic. You will emerge eager to recite this extraordinary berachah each month!
