*Purim, Adar 14-15 (March 1-2, 2010).

New Moon Data Key:

* AL = Arc of Light = Angular distance between sun and moon, center to center.
* AV = Arc of Vision = Difference between sun and moon altitude, center to center. Equal to the difference in Altitudes in the Alt-Azimuth system.
* AN = Arc Needed for Visibility (altitude difference). The difference in altitude needed so that the sun does not wash out the moon's crescent.
* D = AV-AN (AV over or under that needed).
* AMB = Ambiguous (New Moon uncertain when D<2.0 degrees). If the moon and sun are too close, visibility might not be certain. In this case the date is marked AMB. Only eyewitness's can resolve these months. While this happens once or twice a year, it is rare that it lands on a critical month like Aviv or Tishri.
* PR = notes on circumstances of previous day, If this number is negative, then it measures the amount the Arc of Vision is under that which was needed for visibility. If It shows S>M (an error for S<M), it means that the sun's altitude was lower than the moon, making visibility of the moon impossible.

New Moon Sighting:

*from Jerusalem at 16:42 by David Cachicas and at 16:49 by Nehemia Gordon;
*from elsewhere in Jeruaslem at about 16:49 by Dina Marcus and
Veronica Knowles;
*from Masliah at 16:42 by Neria Haroeh;
*from the region of Tekoa at about 16:52 by Bruce Brill;

These sightings were after the close of Sabbath. Therefore the Tebeth New Moon Day is Sunday, 11/30/2008, confirming the computer's calculation of that day. See: Karaite Korner New Moon Report. (Karaite Korner incorrectly flags this month as the 9th month. It is the 10th month)

*We do not endorse the Karaite Korner site, but the sighting reports given are useful. Nehemiah Gordon advocates the use of barley to determine the calendar. This view is not correct, and is dealt with in various papers on this site.

Tequfah: a Hebrew term meaning referring to the equinox. It means "circuit" and refers to the circuit of the sun around the heavens from a fixed point in the heavens and returning back to the same fixed point.

Shoshana: since I did not like the name Tammuz, I changed the name of this month to Shoshana, the name of my first daughter. It means 'Lily' in Hebrew.

* Feast Days begin on preceeding day at sunset. For example if the
feast is listed as 4/1, then the feast high sabbath begins on 3/31
at sunset and ends on 4/1 at sunset.

* The Julday for the given feast day is listed. This is to enable the
user to measure the number of days between any two feasts. For example
it often happens that the number of days between two feasts about 3 1/2
years apart comes to one of the prophetic time periods mentioned in
the book of Daniel, viz. the 1335, 1290, or 1150 (2300 evening-morning
sacrifices), or the book of Revelation, viz. 1260.
