- Q. Kvod Rabeinu Shlit’a. In our new Minyan we have a disagreement as to when is best to do Kiddush Levana before Yom Kippur, as on this coming Motzei Shabbat Vayelech – Shabbat Teshuva (2025), or to wait until after Yom Kippur. Which is more correct?
A. There are different opinions. The Remah (O.H. 602: 1) indeed maintains that one should wait until the end of Yom Kippur. However the opinion of Hagrah (Gaon of Vilna) is that one can do it before. The disagreement may depend on the Simcha and joy one acquires after Yom Kippur.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that one should follow the opinion of his family or the shul in which he davens, avoiding all kinds of confrontations.
