Molad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Molad (מולד, plural Moladot, מולדות) is a Hebrew word meaning "birth" that also generically refers to the time at which the New Moon is "born". The word is ambiguous, however, because depending on the context, it could refer to the actual or mean astronomical lunar conjunction (calculated by a specified method, for a specified time zone), or the molad of the traditional Hebrew calendar (or another specified calendar), or at a specified locale the first visibility of the new lunar crescent after a lunar conjunction.

Other than its usage connected with the lunar cycle, מולד is also the word used in the Hebrew term for Christmas, חג המולד (literally “Holiday of the Birth” or “Holiday of the Nativity”).
