New moon sighted in Israel! Tonight at sundown will be the first day of the first biblical month and the 14th day is Passover. The 15th day is the first day of unleavened bread until the 21st day which is the 7th day of unleavened bread. Time get prepared for some cleaning of homes and buy/make some matzah! I love this time of the year.
Shalom,
This has been a very interesting sighting. For some reason I, as far as we know, was the only one who could sight the moon. I sighted from the north of Israel near Kiryat Ata at 7:24pm with binoculars, and then at 7:25pm with the naked eye. It was very difficult to see, but fortunately I was also able to take photos. The Photos are the raw image, meaning no enhancement was done. The moon is above the electrical tower to the left. The moon was visible till 7:36-7pm and then vanished in the haze.
Yoel
Update at 4pm today!
Just got word that there is a second witness. This makes two of us, soooo- SHANAH TOVAH.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-מֹשֶׁה וְאֶל-אַהֲרֹן, בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם לֵאמֹר. הַחֹדֶשׁ הַזֶּה לָכֶם, רֹאשׁ חֳדָשִׁים: רִאשׁוֹן הוּא לָכֶם, לְחָדְשֵׁי הַשָּׁנָה
YHWH said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, “This month is to be for you the first month, the first month of your year"
