#One can fulfill this with any type of special food, however, it's praiseworthy to do so with bread and make [[Birkat HaMazon]] (with [[Yaaleh VeYavo]]). <ref>Mishna Brurah 419:1. Kaf Hachaim 419:2 quotes the Rabbenu Yahonatan who holds that there's an obligation to have a bread meal on a Rosh Chodesh and a Yareh Shamayim would be strict for him. He concludes that it is a nice practice to make hamotzei with two loaves of bread. Also, in Kaf Hachaim 419:5 he quotes the Chida who says that there's an obligation to honor Rosh Chodesh and infers that one should have a meal on Rosh Chodesh in a honorable manner like one would for Shabbat or Yom Tov. Yalkut Yosef 418:8 writes that someone who has a bread meal is praiseworthy. Chazon Ovadia Chanuka p. 256 disagrees with the Kaf Hachaim that there's an obligation to have a meal with bread.</ref> | #One can fulfill this with any type of special food, however, it's praiseworthy to do so with bread and make [[Birkat HaMazon]] (with [[Yaaleh VeYavo]]). <ref>Mishna Brurah 419:1.

# | #The Midrash in [https://www.sefaria.org/Vayikra_Rabbah.30?vhe=Midrash_Rabbah_--_TE&lang=bi Vayikra Rabbah] states that Hashem pays back whoever spends for Rosh Chodesh, along with [https://www.halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Shabbat Shabbat], Yomim Tovim, and what a ''tinok'' takes to the house of their rebbe. <ref>Vayikra Rabbah 30:1. The Midrash states that whatever he spends for these special days is added to his decreed sustenance, and whatever he does not spend for these days is lessened from his decreed sustenance.</ref> | ||
