Daily Halacha - Blessing of the Moon in Tishrei, 4th of Tishrei 5778

What is the correct time to recite the "Blessing of the Moon" in the month of Tishrei?

Some have the custom in the month of Tishrei not to recite the Blessing of the Moon until after Yom Kippur [Chazon Ovadia p. 393].

Is there an obligation to taste something before the Blessing of the Moon?

For those who follow the custom to recite the Blessing of the Moon at the conclusion of Yom Kippur, it is good to break the fast before the blessing since the mitzvah should be performed with joy, though this is not mandatory [Shulchan Aruch 426, Mishnah Berurah 11].
