<h2>What is Kiddush Levana?</h2><p>Kiddush Levana--the Sanctification of the Moon--is a blessing recited over seeing the new moon. The ceremony also includes several Psalms and an excerpt from the Talmud. It is recited outdoors when the new moon is visible, preferably on a Saturday night, when one is already dressed in festive clothing. According to Jewish mysticism it is best to sanctify the moon between the 7th and 15th of the Jewish month. However, one can recite it as early as the 3rd or 4th and up to the 16th.</p>
