- Q. Rav, Can one who usually eats on Rosh Chodesh a meal with meat and wine, comply tomorrow Friday Rosh Chodesh (2025), with that meal with the Seudas Shabbos if he makes an early Shabbos?
A. Since that meal is a Shabbos meal and is eaten after praying the Maariv of Shabbos, lighting Shabbos candles after kiddush and no Yaaleh Veyabo is said anymore by Birchat Hamazon, it can’t be considered a meal for Rosh Chodesh also.
