Shabbat HaChodesh 2021 / שַׁבָּת הַחֹדֶשׁ 5781

Shabbat HaChodesh (Shabbat before Rosh Chodesh Nissan) for Hebrew Year 5781 began on Friday, 12 March 2021 and ended on Saturday, 13 March 2021.

Shabbat HaChodesh ("Sabbath [of the] month" שבת החודש) precedes the first of the Hebrew month of Nisan during which Passover is celebrated. Exodus 12:1-20 and the laws of Passover. On the first day of Nisan, G-d presented the first commandment of how to "sanctify the new moon" (kiddush hachodesh) for the onset of Rosh Chodesh and thus Nisan becomes the first month of the Jewish year (counting by months.)
