The next New Moon is
Tuesday, Dec. 31, 2024 at sundown
We observe the New Moon based on the sliver.
Enoch (Ethiopic Apocalypse of Enoch) Chapter 78:10-14 reads:
10. And Uriel showed me another LAW: when light is transferred to the moon, and on which side it is transferred to her by the sun.
11. During all the period during which the moon is growing in her light, she is transferring it to herself when opposite to the sun during fourteen days [her light is accomplished in the heaven], and when she is illumined throughout, her light is accomplished full in the heaven. (added for your understanding: THIS IS THE FULL MOON)
12. And on the FIRST DAY she is called the NEW MOON, for (because) on that day the light rises upon her. (added for your understanding: THIS IS THE NEW MOON - as soon as light hits her and is visible - THAT'S THE SLIVER - she is NEW)
13. She becomes full moon exactly on the day when the sun sets in the west, and from the east she rises at night, and the moon shines the whole night through till the sun rises over against her and the moon is seen over against the sun.
14. On the side whence the light of the moon comes forth, there again she wanes till all the light VANISHES and all the days of the month are at an end, and her circumference is empty, VOID OF LIGHT. (added for your understanding: THIS IS THE END OF THE MONTH, not the beginning.
No light shines on her. She is empty of light)
We understand that not all agree with this rendering. It is not an area of contention for us.
Praise YAH that we know to observe the New Moon at all.
As we grow in knowledge and grace...many things will be revealed to Yishara'el.
COME GROW WITH US
