Display an even greater joy than on a regular Shabbos, so that no one will suspect you are mourning on Shabbos.
Tehillim
Early in the morning, we gather in shul to recite the entire Tehillim with a minyan. Following Tehillim, a maamar should be studied for approximately an hour, followed by davening.
For more on saying Tehillim on Shabbos Mevarchim, see below, Hosafos.
Blessing the New Month
It is proper to know when the molad will be before blessing the new month.
This month, the molad will be on Friday morning, at 10:42 AM and 5 chalakim.
The chazzan stands, holding a Sefer Torah, and leads the congregation with Mi shebeirach. It is customary for the congregants to stand as well.
Rosh Chodesh Menachem Av will be on Shabbos. We don’t say Av Harachamim.
Farbrengens
Shabbos Mevarchim is a day to farbreng, ideally in shul.
For more on Shabbos Mevarchim farbrengens, see below, Hosafos.

After Minchah, read the first chapter of Pirkei Avos.

Make sure to study a parshah of Chumash with Rashi every day, to say Tehillim every day, and to complete the Tehillim on Shabbos Mevarchim. It is crucial for you, your children, and your grandchildren.
