| Mar 25, 2019 at 23:28 | comment | added | B''H Bi'ezras -- Boruch Hashem | @DonielF No its specifically the two great luminaries in the entire universe the pgia of our moon is different than all others, OUR moon, and OUR sun is different than all other sun and stars, that's why the torah mentiones them seperately than all other stars, the "pgia" of other stars is just waxing and waning, but our moon was origianlly the same size an dbirghtness of the sun, it was shrunken down and currently accepts its light from he sun, but during kiddush levana we are praying that he should make the moon the same as the sun in size and brightness in moshiach times, look at the text | |

| Mar 25, 2019 at 23:16 | comment | added | B''H Bi'ezras -- Boruch Hashem | @DonielF The word "levanah" -white -- refers to only this one moon, because it says in Bereishis "He created the two great lumaries" -- the sun and the moon. The moon is different than all other moons, its one of the two great luminaries -- just like the sun is greater than all other stars, the whole idea of kiddush levanah is to fill the void of the moon "pigeeas halvanah" Which was made only to our moon | |

Certainly our moon is “a moon,” but to the exclusion of all others? Maybe we make Kiddush Levanah on the moon closest to Earth because we’re on Earth, but were we on a different planet we’d make it on its moon. | |
