New Moon Report
April 2000

On April 5, 2000 the New Moon was not sighted by any of the
observers from Israel. It was very hazy all over Israel
apparently caused by dust in the air, which made
the relatively slender crescent invisible to the naked eye.
However, in the past the moon has been visible under similar
astronomical conditions. This means that were it not for
the
dust on the horizon, the moon would have been visible.
Therefore, we will be observing Rosh Hodesh (New
Moon Day) on the evening of April 5 and the day of April 6.

Rosh Hodesh Sameach (Happy New Moon Day) and Shana Tovah
(Happy New Year)!
