It is recommended that you look for the New Moon in your area. The New Moon (beginning of the new month) determines the dates of the festivals of the first month (Aviv) and the seventh month (Tishrei). It is very important to confirm the date of the New Moon of Aviv and Tishrei, for these will influence all the dates of the Set Apart appointments legislated in Wayyiqra (Leviticus) 23. The Scriptural year begins with the first New Moon after the barley in Israel reaches the stage in its ripeness called “aviv”. The legislated appointments of Wayyiqra 23 are all calculated from the New Moons.

The new moon was sighted from 2 locations in Cape Town just after sun set on 2 April 2022.
