Special Shabbatot are Jewish Shabbat (Hebrew, שבת shabbath) days on which special events are commemorated.[1] Variations in the liturgy and special customs differentiate them from the other Shabbats (Hebrew, שבתות Shabbatot) and each one is referred to by a special name. Many communities also add piyyutim on many of these special Shabbatot. Two such Shabbats, Shabbat Mevarchim—the Shabbat preceding a new Hebrew month—and Shabbat Rosh Chodesh (which coincides with the new month/moon) can occur on several occasions throughout the year. The other special Shabbats occur on specific sabbaths before or coinciding with certain Jewish holidays during the year according to a fixed pattern.
