- Q. Dearest Rov and Halacha leader Shlit’a. In a few days will Iy”H Rosh Chodesh Shvat and I heard that this Rosh Chodesh carries special Bracha and great blessings.
My child requires an important medical operation, is it better to do it on that day?
A. Consult with the doctors if it can wait. Yet, indeed many Sefarim write that the title Shevat stands for the Hebrew expression Shenishma Besurot Tovot, that we should be blessed to share good tidings. And indeed it is considered a blessed Rosh Chodesh. We wish you all blessings and wishes for a prompt Refuah Shleima.
How appropriate is the month that celebrates the blessings of abundance, new life, and importance of the Torah.
