Question
Is there an obligation to have a meal on Rosh Chodesh?
Answer
A. It is a mitzvah to enhance the meal on Rosh Chodesh, and therefore one should eat more than usual on a weekday. B. It is forbidden to fast on Rosh Chodesh, but there is no obligation to eat bread, and since there is no obligation to eat bread, if one forgets to say 'Yaaleh Veyavo', one does not need to repeat.
