I have to report that I was not able of seeing whether or not that the new moon made its appearing due to cloudiness over the western horizon here in Roseau, Dominica. But I have received word from an Elder in Johannesburg, South Africa that he and his wife easily saw the new moon there this evening. Shalom, Bro. Augustus Paul Elizabeth City, North CarolinaShabbat Shalom, we saw the moon! It seemed to be slightly to the SW, a pale pink sliver amidst raspberry colored clouds.

Yahweh bless, JM Danville, VirginiaBrother Jim, In Danville, Virginia the new moon was NOT sighted. Really weird, the sky above us was clear and stars shining bright but the western horizon was solid clouds. Maybe it is either aftermath from last hurricane or pre-Ivan. Glad it was sighted in Israel. Be Blessed, Berry Near LBJ Ranch, TexasThe new moon was too low and the horizon cloaked by a bank of clouds to be visible in this area. I do rejoice however that it was seen in Israel. HalleluYah! His Holy Days have come! Daniel |
