Right! So my answer is Birchas Hachodesh. But what Chassish mom wrote is a different bracha, albeit also having to do with the chodesh.

Tefillas Haderech! LOL

You actually could say tefilas haderech in shul. If you know you'll travel you say it in shema koilanu before ki atah shomeia

I never heard about R'Yehuda Hanasi's maid... interesting. I was thinking of someone else.
Yosef is from Torah. I was asking someone from the times of the Gemara.
