Today's Halachos dedicated by a daily reader, as a zechus Yeshuah for Lev Moshe ben Rivka Devora to live a happy healthy Tahor,Kadosh meaningful life on the path of Hashem, to be able to live a life where his Ner Tamid shines brighter every day.
And as a zechus that their family will have strength to pass the tests that Hashem Yisborach sends our way:
Rivka Devora bas Esther Chasha
Daniel ben Rut
Lev Moshe ben Rivka Devora
Chenya Baila bas Rivka Devora
Sarah Kyla bas Rivka Devora,
Avraham Yitzchok ben Rivka Devora
And that all of Klal Yisroel benefit from them doing the right thing and passing their tests, and gives them chizuk to pass their tests as well!

HALACHOS OF ROSH CHODESH
1)Ideally, it is best to recite Kiddush Levana together with a group, and not say it alone, as "B'rov Am Hadras Melech", it is more respectful to the King, Hashem, when done with a Tzibbur.
However, this does not require a minyan of ten men, as even if said together in a group of three men, it suffices.
Some say that even saying it together with one other person is acceptable. (See Biur Halacha Siman 426:2 Dibur Hamaschil Elah and Siman 167:11 Dibur Hamaschil Echad)
2) If one sees the moon on Motzaei Shabbos when he is alone he should recite the Kiddush Levana then rather than wait to say it together with another person on a week night, as it is best not to push off this Mitzvah. (See Mishna Berura Siman 426 S"K 20)
If one has the opportunity to recite Kiddush Levana on a week night together with others and he knows that if he waits until Motzaei Shabos most likely he will not have anyone else to recite it with, he should say it with them rather than with until Motzai Shabbos. (See Sha'ar HaTziyun Siman 426 Os 20. The )

QUESTION:
When washing for a meal does one say a bracha on dessert?
ANSWER:
Yes, dessert (fruit, candy, ice cream etc.) is usually not considered part of the meal, and thus requires a Bracha. Only drinks and ices, according to some Poskim, do not require a new bracha, and according to some Poskim desserts that are of the 5 grains also do not require a new bracha, but many Poskim do indeed require it.
Best thing in case of a dessert of 5 grains is to make a Mezonos on a dessert that isnt from 5 grains (such as rice krispy treat etc.) and exempt the cake.
