University of Pennsylvania digitized edition

1 folio : losses from center; verso is blank; Forms part of: Cairo Genizah Collection.; Hebrew. Hebrew; Possibly the last folio from a prayer book, as the verso is empty, although the copy appears to have been interrupted in mid-sentence, which would indicate that this is a discarded draft.; The recto contains the end of the text (five lines, in large square characters) of the Blessing of the New Moon, under the heading ברכת הלבנה. The fragment contains the end of this sequence, starting אלמלא לא זכו to אמר אביי הילכך מעומד (Talmud, Sanhedrin 42a).; This is followed by eight lines in a Sephardic cursive hand with directions of actions prescribed during this blessing, and their Kabbalistic significance.
