Shalom to the Royal Family of Yehovah,
New Moon Day
Dear Friends,
At the time of this writing, I am not aware of any positive new moon sightings from Israel this evening, 24 February 2020. I will of course send an update should any positive observations come in later.
If no positive reports come in, tomorrow evening, 25 February 2020, will be the beginning of the new month by default, as it will be the end of 30 days since the beginning of the previous month.
On behalf of all of us who rely on these observations, we wish to thank everyone in Israel who looked for the new moon this evening and sent in their observations in a timely manner. We are also extremely grateful to everyone who is supporting our efforts from afar, your support helps us be able to collect the observations and share these reports around the world.
If reliable first-hand New Moon and Aviv Reports from Israel are of value to you, please consider supporting our efforts. We could really use your support in restoring the Biblical Calendar.
Chodesh Tov! Make it a great month!

The Barley
We have our first Barley report back from Devorah and her team this year.
We also have reports from Becca Bidermann who has been hearing the incoming missiles and the Iron Dome going off to shoot them down above where she is staying. Please keep her in your prayers. We will have more reports for you about the state of the barley this week from our others sources. So please stand by before you decide which month we are now about to begin. ONce we have all the evidence then and only then can you make up your mind what you are going to do.
I want you to pay close attention to this part of the report
we also saw a fair amount of barley with the heads fully emerged in the flowering and cotton stages. We even saw a few stalks in the soft dough and hard dough stages, the latter meaning we could not squeeze the seed out, but could still easily cut the seed in half with our fingernails, but again we only found a few of these.
We need barley to ripe or in such a stage that it can be roasted and then made into flour for the wave offering on the Morrow after the Sabbath during the Days of Unleavened Bread. This could be 19 days away form now.
It is going to be another controversial year. It is going to be very close this year. Each of you must pay attention to all the reports and then decide.
As for our search and findings, we carried out this Aviv Search on Sunday, February 23, 2020 and inspected wild volunteer barley growing in the Northern Negev. We concentrated our search in this region, as we have found the climate in this area to be particularly conducive to the maturity of barley, and one of the earliest places in which barley ripens in Israel. We did not know what we would find when we set out on our search and approached our inspection with humility and openness to whatever we would discover.
I was not able to see the moon from my place in Ontario Canada Monday evening on the 29th day of the month. This makes the 30th day Tuesday and the start of either the 1st of the 13th month Tuesday evening by default.
We didn’t see it from Alvena, Saskatchewan either.
The moon was not visible from Indian head sk due to cloud cover. I did receive a report of a positive sighting from north battled sk. From a reliable source.
Later
Shalom Mr Dumont
Thank you so very much for the info you shared with us. No new moon sighted either here from South Africa… Obviously.
I have one question though, maybe you have already answered it in some of your newsletters.
Where do you find it that the wafe offering of the firstfruits MUST be in the same week as Unleavend bread. We struggle to find it to be combined… We read it that it could be any time … On the morrow after the Shabbat…not necessarily the morrow after Shabbat following Unleavend bread. I would appreciate if you can help us, as we also learn each year new insights. And then depending on that specific morrow after Shabbat, then the counting starts for the 7 weeks. You need the Barley to be ripe to produce flour.. could it be that it can be a week or 2 later than unleavend bread. Just asking, for we do not read it like this.
Kind regards
I do not have time for a long answer right now. The Wave sheaf day is the day after the weekly Sabbath DURING the Days of Unleavened Bread. How do you prove this? By understanding that Yehshua was the Wave Sheaf offering that ascended to Heaven that Sunday. See our book It was a Riddle Not a Commandment.
I can’t tell if this report indicates that there is enough, or will be enough barley for an omer.
We are in dileberations about this very thing. We will post a report in a day or so. Be patient. Please.
