Question
Hello, In the blessing of the moon, when one is to dance three times, does it mean three jumps, then saying "Just as I dance before you..." and then again three jumps, etc.? A total of 3 dances with 9 jumps in total?
Answer
Hello
It does not seem so from the language of the decisors, but rather a total of 3 'dances'.
[In the language of the Rema, it could be explained that initially one dances three times and then says three times 'Just as I dance', but the custom of the world is not so, rather one dances once and says once, and then again dances and says the second and third time].
