The (Gregorian) dates posted is the "Biblical New Moon Day" date, (visible sighting would be confirmed on the evening before the posted dated.) The start of the Biblical New Year depends on the sighting of the ripening of the Abib - barley harvest in Jerusalem.

2011-12 Biblical Holy Day & New Moon Calendar

Sighting the 1st and 7th crescent new moons are crucial, because all the Holy Days of the season are figured from them. We know that the preprinted calendar is not always accurate so we need visual confirmation. The whole season of Holy Days will be thrown off if you do not begin on the correct evening, consequently the people will miss their Sacred 'appointed time' with their CREATOR.

Happy New Moon Day!
