Shalom Aleichem,
The twelfth new moon is expected to be visible on 20 February in the western United States and 21 February in Israel. Share your new moon sighting.
Note that the HM Nautical Almanac Office is performing maintenance and will not be providing new moon visibility estimates at least for the near team. Instead of the graphical representation, the following calculated values provide the same information numerically. Generally, the new moon is not visible without at least a .9% illumination and about 30 minutes between sunset and darkness. Note that around the time the new moon sets, it approaches .9% illumination in Orlando, but would not be visible because it will be below the horizon.
