Birkas Hachodesh - Before beginning the Musaf prayer on the Sabbath preceding the incoming new Jewish month a short prayer called "Birkas Hachodesh" -- the "Blessing of the Month" is recited.
In many congregations the Birkat Hachodesh is preceded by a short prayer (Yehi Ratzon) requesting divine beneficence for the coming month. This prayer is recited first by the congregation, and is then repeated aloud by the Cantor.
