Shalom Aleichem,
The sixth new moon was seen in many locations around the globe, Australia to the United States. My wife and I were in Daly City for conversion and saw the new moon with a couple dozen observers. Praise YHWH for allowing us to convert to Judiaism with such a beutiful people.

The very thin sliver of the moon was easily visible through a break in the clouds at 7:50 est. This was a treat for us since the weather this year has been against us on the new moon nights. JG (2 obeservers)
