Stilian Galberg, head of the Department for Noise and
Radiation Prevention at the Ministry of the Environment.

Many are accustomed to say the tefillah of the Shloh
on erev Rosh Chodesh Sivan.
Rosh Chodesh Sivan falls on Wednesday, June 11.
According to the Ramo (494:3) we do not say tachanun
from Rosh Chodesh Sivan until after Isru Chag. (There
are other minhogim that do not say tachanun
until after the seven days of hashlomoh that follow
Shavuos.)
On Rosh Chodesh Sivan we do not say tachanun as we do
every Rosh Chodesh. The second of Sivan is called Yom
HaMeyuchas, since after yetzias Mitzrayim Hashem
commanded Moshe to say to bnei Yisroel: "Now therefore
if you will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then
you shall be My own treasure from among all peoples"
(Shemos 19:5) to prepare them for Torah. Afterwards
the third, forth, and fifth of Sivan are the Sheloshes
Yemei Hagboloh, when bnei Yisroel waited for
kabolas HaTorah (Mishnah Berurah 494:8, and see
Shabbos 86-88).
