What is the unique virtue of each month? Why do some moths have a two-day Rosh Chodesh? In ancient times, Rosh Chodesh (the “head” of the month) was a significant festival day. At that time, the new months were determined by observation. Each month began when the first sliver of moon became visible after the dark of the moon. Observers would watch the sky at night for any sign of the moon. If they saw the moon, they would report their sightings to the Sanhedrin (Rabbinical Supreme Court).
