Monday May 9, 2005 Greetings brethren, Blow the shofar, it is the third new moon of the Scriptural year. It was a beautiful sighting. My four year old Veronica was the first to see the new moon here in Blue Springs, Missouri. She pointed it out right below a jet trail. It was a really nice blessing. I pray you have a blessed new moon and Hag Shavuot.

It is that time again which I've committed myself to do on a monthly basis; to stop by with a report on the sighted or non sighting of the new moon. I have sighted the new moon beginning the Bible third month Sivan this evening Monday 9th May 2005 in only about 5 minutes after sunset at 6:30 p.m. ECT (-4 GMT). It is quite high and appears in the same position that the last new moon Zif appeared but of course, much higher than Zif. Happy new moon day to ALL, Augustus Paul Tonawanda, New YorkHi Jim!

The skies were very clear and the moon very distinct - it would have been visible somewhat earlier if I had looked then!

Danville, VirginiaHey Brother Jim, My wife and I walked out on the front porch here in Danville, Virginia at around 8:24 PM EDT with the intention to drive to a better location to look for the new moon. Low and behold there it was, not a star in the sky nor cloud just the beautiful, majestic new crescent. We were quite trilled and to see it just out our front door. We miss them a lot but for every miss a sighting now and then is more than worth it to keep watching. In the love of Yahshua, Berry & Donna Rose Bonne Terre, MissouriShalom Jim and family, I saw the New Moon this evening shortly after 8:00 PM near Bonne Terre, MO. Loretta Overman Sterling, IllinoisNew Moon seen in Sterling at 8:45 pm by four people. Happy 3rd month! Crawfordsville, IndianaShalom Bro. James, We looked for the new crescent at sunset. There were low clouds here in Crawfordsville, Indiana and we did not see the crescent. I know it is there and was seen by other brethren. Have a blessed New Moon Shabbat!
