Question
Hello, What is the source of the holy Shelah's prayer for Rosh Chodesh Sivan? What is known about this day in general and its uniqueness?
Answer
Hello
The source of the prayer on this day comes from the holy Shelah himself, who instituted this prayer. He wrote: 'And my heart tells me that this is a favorable time for this prayer on the eve of Rosh Chodesh Sivan, the month when the Torah was given, and then we are called children of the Lord our God'.
The eve of Rosh Chodesh is a time for prayer, as it is known that the 'Yom Kippur Katan' prayer was instituted on this day, and many are accustomed to fasting on it. Combined with the month of Sivan, which is the month the Torah was given, it is therefore auspicious for praying to merit Torah for oneself and one's children.
