Halocho #1102 - Can one say Kiddush Levanah by a window?


Kiddush Levanah - (the sanctification of the new moon) - can be found in any Siddur; usually after the Maariv service. 

Men have an obligation to say Kiddush Levanah every month. The custom is that women do not say Kiddush Levanah. 

Kiddush Levanah cannot be said before the new moon is 3 days (72 hours) old. Some even wait until it's 7 days old. 

Kiddush Levanah can only be said while the moon is waxing. 

Kiddush Levanah should not be said while standing under a roof. However, if this is impossible or impractical, then it can be said inside by a window.
