The sliver of the crescent New Moon was NOT observed in Israel on the evening of 24 December 2022 just after sunset (read here and here). This makes the first day of the Biblical New Month from sunset as observed from Jerusalem, Israel on 25 December to the sunset on 26 December 2022, as the previous month now defaults to thirty days.
Based on the previous month's default to thirty days, below is a calendar that reflects God’s appointed Holy Days (Leviticus 23, Numbers 28-29) for the Tenth Month of the Biblical Year.
If you question why this is the Tenth Month of the Biblical New Year, read this post.
The next New Moon is predicted to be visible in Israel on 23 January 2023, just after sunset. You can review predictive data and illustrative charts on multiple websites, some listed below at:
Her Majesty’s Nautical Almanac Office Websurf 2.0
In-The-Sky.org provides Moon ephemeris data
Israeli Society for the View of the New Moon
If you desire to use real-time simulated data to observe the predicted New Moon cycle, it is available in a program called Stellarium. Stellarium is free to download and use.
