Aviv Report
An Aviv report can be found below from Devorah Gordon. As shared in the previous report, I see additional guidelines based on haskama “הסכמה” help ensure the Aviv new moon is within the right time. It is up to each of us to search the scriptures and make these types of decisions. “Study Scripture carefully and do not accept blindly the opinions of others.”
May יהוה be with you,
Ya’aqov Adam Meyer
