Question

I wanted to ask about the expression regarding the Rosh Chodesh meal "if one adds, they add for him" in relation to the Rosh Chodesh meal. A. What foods are being referred to? B. Is it specifically about the meal with bread or any food that is eaten? C. If it is only about the meal, is it limited to one meal on Rosh Chodesh, or is every washing of hands considered a meal? Thank you very much

Answer

Shalom Rav

A. Any food that people customarily buy for the Rosh Chodesh meal is said about it 'they add for him'.

B - C. Not specifically a meal with bread, but any eating in honor of Rosh Chodesh.
