Blow the Shofar! It’s the New Moon and the New Year!
Surprisingly, brother Brian found barley and brother Solomon also found barley in their separate barley searches which they believe qualifies for the wave sheaf offering of Leviticus 23:11. We did not expect this, but here we are now in the 1st month. I thought this was going to be the 13th month, but with the barley ready for the wave sheaf offering, there’s no Biblical reason to delay entering into the 1st Biblical month of HaAviv that I know of.
The New Moon was sighted in multiple places in the USA on 3/9/2016 including multiple believers we know in Iowa at 6:30 PM and also 6 adults and 1 child as reported by a brother I know in El Paso who all sighted it at 6:35 PM. Rosh Chodesh Sameach! Happy New Moon Day!
