Rosh Chodesh (5th Hebrew Month)
July 6, 2016 @ 8:00 pm
On Tuesday, July 5th, the new moon was sighted from Israel–though with only 1 recorded witness. In ancient times, it was by the witness of 2 that the rosh chodesh was declared. In this case with only 1 witness, sunset of July 6th begins the new month. Note: The July 5th sighting information is from Nehemia Gordon’s New Moon Report
“And Elohim said, “Let lights come to be in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and appointed times, and for days and years, and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth.” And it came to be so.”
Genesis 1:14-15
