<div dir="ltr">In general, we say that in order to declare Rosh Chodesh, you have to see the new sliver of the moon. This has to happen a few hours after the actual molad, since at the molad, when the moon and sun are in line with each other, the sun is too bright to see the new moon sliver.<div>
<br></div><div>However, on an eclipse, if we can see the moon passing in front of the sun, we can visually observe the molad passing.</div><div><br></div><div>Would this re'iya be enough to be mekadesh the month with, or do you have to see the sliver?</div>
