Question
What is special about the eve of Rosh Chodesh?
Answer
Every eve of Rosh Chodesh is a day of repentance and rectification of deeds, and it is called a minor Yom Kippur, as it atones for the sins of the entire month. Everyone should strive to repent on this day and correct what was wrong throughout the month. Then, Rosh Chodesh will be a time of atonement for all his actions.
