Dear Friends,
The new moon was sighted from Israel this evening, Friday, 18 September 2020!
- From Tiberias by Denis and Maureen Chkolnik at 7:06 pm.
- From presumably the Zevulun Valley by Yoel Halevi and his son at 7:13 pm.
This means sunset on 18 September 2020 marks the beginning of the new month. Be sure to keep track what number month this is, based on when you started the new year!
On behalf of all of us who rely on these observations, we wish to thank everyone in Israel who looked for the new moon this evening and sent in their observations in a timely manner. We are also extremely grateful to those of you who have stepped up and are supporting our efforts from afar, your support helps us be able to collect the observations and share these reports around the world.
If reliable first-hand New Moon and Aviv Reports from Israel are of value to you, please consider supporting our efforts. We could really use your support in restoring the Biblical Calendar.
Chodesh Tov! Make it a great month!
