The sliver of the crescent New Moon was observed in Israel on the evening of 20 May 2023 just after sunset (read here and here). This makes the first day of the third month of the Biblical New Year from sunset as observed from Jerusalem, Israel on 20 May to the sunset on 21 May 2023.
Below is a calendar that reflects God’s appointed Holy Days (Leviticus 23, Numbers 28-29) based on the confirmed observation of the New Moon within Israel by more than two witnesses. Take it upon yourself to prove and validate these appointed Holy Days yourself, to “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” (1 Thessalonians 5:21).
If you question why this is the Third Month of the Biblical New Year, read this post.
The next New Moon is predicted to be visible in Israel on 19 June 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 or the Biblical Calendar Society
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.
