January
16, 2010 Shalom Aleichem, Blow the
Shofar. The new moon was seen by many brethren. More reports are
likely to come in this evening and will be added as reports arrive. The
first reports were from Israel and Dominica but others are likely to follow if
weather permitted. Brethren from Cisco reported that the new moon was not
visible sunset last night. Tonight here in Northern Virginia the new moon was not seen due to
cloud cover. It was such thick cloud cover that the sun didn't even make
it through. Have a blessed eleventh month.

It is with ease, I must say, I was able of visibly spotting
the 11th new moon this evening Saturday 16th January 2010 at 18:04 (in 8 minutes
after the 17:56 setting of the sun) because of fair atmospheric conditions and a
clear sky. A long way left to go before it sets, I left off watching it at 18:12
to arrive at a surf cafe to send you this reporting in time before their close
down time at 20:00 arrives.
A call came in from Sis. Jacqueline Francis-Massicot (recently
joined in matrimonial wedlock with Bro. Craig Massicot on Sunday 1st November
2009) at 18:55:10 while writing this reporting, informing me that she and her
entire family saw the new moon this evening.

We both spotted the crescent fairly early at 5:45 PM MST just
after the Sabbath, 20 minutes after local Sunset. We had a full covering of
high, thin clouds, but the moon shined through. I looked for it diligently on
Friday night under ideal conditions, but couldn't see it. DM

Shalom b'shem Yahshua! I was scraping snow and ice off the
driveway here, so I'm not sure when the crescent first appeared, but Bonnie and
I observed rosh chodesh at 5:50 CST. Thrilling, beautiful and clear. CDK

Our fellowship group meets near the end of the Sabbath. One of
our group went out to look for the moon while the remainder continued with the
Torah study. At 6:14pm Central time, he blew the shofar having sighted the
crescent as the clouds opened up to see it. A few minutes later, many more of us
went out to observe it, and we could all see it very clearly. My apologies for
this late report. WWI
