Agudat Bris/Covenant Fellowship - Isaiah 56:6-8
Rosh Chodesh
New moons will be kept in the Kingdom, Isaiah 66:23. We believe that the scriptural months are delineated by the unseen moon called the Mulad, 2Kings 4:23; Nehemiah 10:33; Psalm 81:3. This speaks of our faith that Yahweh will renew the moon and grant us a new month. We use a round Challah to typify the moon being full in the heavenlies-receiving the light that we will see as the month progresses. "...and when it is wholly extinguished, its light is consumed in heaven; and on the first day it is called the new moon, for on that day light is received into it." Book of Enoch (Laurence' Translation); chapter 77 verse 14. The Scriptural day begins and ends with sunset, Leviticus 23:32; Judges 14:12 and 18; Mark 1:32.
