The sliver of the crescent New Moon was observed in Israel on the evening of 23 January 2023 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 23 January to the sunset on 24 January 2023.
Based on the confirmed observation of the New Moon, below is a calendar that reflects God’s appointed Holy Days (Leviticus 23, Numbers 28-29).
If you question why this is the Eleventh Month of the Biblical New Year, read this post.
The next New Moon is predicted to be visible in Israel on 21 February 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.
