12). This new moon marks the beginning of the eighth month. Have a
blessed new moon and Shabbat. May Yahweh bless you through Messiah Yahshua
through out this month.

Positive Reports
Perth, Australia
The New Moon was sighted by a 5 reliable witnesses
in Perth, Australia on 12 October 2007 at 6:46 PM local time.
Roseau, Dominica
Last evening Thursday Oct. 11th after the lunar 29th day,
I made a search for the new moon but there was some clouds but not very cloudy with
sufficient cloud hindrance which hindered me from seeing the western sky in its
entirety.
So I returned this evening to make a search and the
height at which I saw the new moon (9 minutes after sunset) this evening at 5:56pm
(-4 GMT) on an entirely clear sky easily convinced me that the new moon was no where
in sight last evening.

Dear Jim,
Just for the record, writing to say that several
here in Cisco, Texas, sighted the new crescent tonight. It was extremely thin
and faint -- just a thread -- but 5 people saw it with the naked eye after
spotting it with binoculars. Several others, myself included, saw it with
binoculars but couldn't distinguish it without magnification.
Our sundown was 7:07, and the first sighting was
about 7:20. (Sorry, I forgot to check my watch in the excitement.) Moonset was
at 7:41. We thank Yahweh for clear skies, with only a little haze low on
the horizon.
Blessings,
Ruth York
Scottsdale, Arizona
Sighted by 3 people at 6:25 PM RL

Two of us sighted the new moon on "Friday" night,
just ahead of the Sabbath, 12 October. It was very very thin & low. We watched
it for around 10 minutes from 6:50 PM to 7 PM MDT. DM
Negative Reports
Jerusalem, Israel
On Friday October 12, 2007 observers from several
locations in Israel looked for the moon but it was not sighted.
We received a report from two observers who thought
they saw the moon from Haon on the east coast of the Sea of Galilee. However, they
reported seeing the moon at 17:35 which was four minutes AFTER moonset. Obviously
the moon cannot be seen after it has set and therefore this reported cannot be accepted
as valid.
The moon should be easily visible tomorrow night.

October 13
Jerusalem, Israel
On Saturday October 13, 2007 observers across
Israel looked for the moon but it was not sighted due to heavy cloud coverage.
Even though the moon was not sighted, tonight it is still new moon day by
default since the month cannot be more than 30 days.
Rosh Hodesh Sameach!
Happy New Moon Day!
