the extreme
eastern countries one can make Kiddush Levonoh the
entire
Sunday night, the eve of 15 Cheshvan.
It seems that bedi'eved one can make a brocho
until
11:02 P.M. in Eretz Yisroel and until 10:02 P.M. in most of
Europe,
the time of the astronomical full moon, since it is at least
within
fifteen days from the molad.
