According to my sources, the New Moon was NOT seen with the naked eye in Israel today, September 10th 2018. However, There has been one person to come forward saying that he saw it, but with difficulty.
Since we do not have more than one witness who sighted the moon with a naked eye, then that would put New Moon starting tomorrow on September 11th, 2018.
If anyone has a report otherwise, please let me know!
As soon as I receive an update with pictures and a sighting report from two or more witnesses, I will be posting the update for y’all!
Be blessed!!! 😀

I’m totally, 100% confused, WHEN is Yom Kippur? what day does it fall on?
Author
It falls on the 10th day of the 7th month. It is kept from sunset on the 9th day to sunset on the tenth day. 🙂
So, if the new moon isn’t spotted until nightfall, then September 12th is Rosh Hashanah?

It depends on if you go by the first month starting before the equinox or after the equinox.
If you go by the first New Moon sighted in Israel after the equinox, then this year, this is actually only the 6th month, not the 7th.
Either way, the New Moon will begin at sunset the evening of Tuesday, September 11th, 2018 end ends on Wednesday evening September 12th, 2018.

I want to thank all who have been sending in New Moon Sighting Reports from around the globe! I still have yet to receive two legit witnesses from Jerusalem, but when I do, I will be sure to update everyone, and will email my list!
Also, I commend all who are observing two days in the fear of YHWH! When we are unclear and uncertain, sometimes that is the best thing to do to be on the safe side!
May you all continue to be blessed as you walk with our Creator in obedience!
Shalom!
Yes the new moon was sighted in Israel

Thank you, Carol. That is still only one witness in Israel though, and that witness admits it can be challenged. We need at least two!
I appreciate your help, as I cannot seem to find an answer to this question. When exactly are the Trumpets sounded ? At the beginning of the feast when the moon is sighted and confirmed? or at the end of the feast?
Author
Yes, when the New moon sighting is confirmed!
It seems that the single witness, Yoel Halevi, has contradicted himself, making his witness unreliable, in my opionion.
My source of information in this instance is the following link. Make up your own mind on the matter. Shalom.

Hi there,
I have sighted the moon here in Tauranga, New Zealand. Date is 11 Septmeber and the time was 6.22pm.
I have a photo to prove it but don’t know how to attach it to this comment.
Blessings to all.

Thank you, Kevin! Blessing to you also, Brother!
Shalom.
according to renewed.com report the new moon was seen with the naked eye in various palces including two from South Africa. With this information I feel compelled to observe the feast day from the evening of the 10th.

Good Morning from South Africa ?
The new moon was spotted by us after sunset last night 10th of September, vissible from Pretoria (Gauteng Province) and also confirmed to be vissible in Mossel Bay in the Western Cape Province. Have a blessed Yom Teruah. Shalom

Thank you!
I’m from the western states and my wife and I saw the moon with the naked eye. I have pictures.
Author
Thank you for all your reports! 🙂
I am new here … has the Feast of Trumpets started? If not, when is it official? When do they sound the trumpets?
Thank You Very Much!
You might check at http://renewedmoon.com/.
That might provide a second witness, unless Yoel Halevi is your single witness.
Author
Thank you!
Yes, Yoel Halevi is the first witness… I should have mentioned that!
Thank you for this. I appreciate the thoroughness of the approach. At the word of 2 or 3 witnesses let a thing be established!
