Hi, thanks for using Hebcal, and thanks for the feedback.


You might be referring to Mevarchim Chodesh, which is the blessing/welcoming of a new month, for example "Shabbat Mevarchim Chodesh Cheshvan"

A Shabbat Mevarchim Chodesh will always precede the Rosh Chodesh of that month.


We hope this clarifies things for you!
