Hi,
When one sees the moon in its new state, one recites a special blessing, colloqiually termed “Kiddush Levanah.” The purpose is to recognize Divine creation, at the time of its renewal.
I hope to define "new state," and other elements of this mitzvah, in future posts.
(Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 426:1; Mishneh Berurah 426:1)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
