Aviv New Moon Sighted from Israel! On March 17, 2010 the new moon was sighted from Israel. The moon was sighted: *from Jerusalem at 17:50 by Nehemia Gordon followed by Shoshanah Waterman, Dan Rose, Ben Rose, Devorah Gordon and Paul Matthew Leisy; Below are photos of the new moon sighted from Jerusalem: Here is a video of the new moon sighting from Jerusalem: In addition to the Aviv barley previously reported on Friday, we found a planted field of domesticated 6-row Aviv barley in the Jordan Valley just south of Nakhal Milkha. The field also contained small quantities of 2-row domesticated Aviv barley intermixed with the 6-row. The other Aviv barley found earlier in the Jordan Valley and northern Negev was spontaneous 2-row barley. Below are photographs of the Aviv barley found at Nakhal Milkha: My thanks to the following people for participating in the main Aviv Search: Terry Telligman, Shoshanah Waterman, Miri Burgin, Willie Ondricek, Paul Beattie, Katharina Beattie, Amanda Boyd, Ruth Burcham, Carolyn Ardeeser, Dina Marcus, Dan Rose, Paul Matthew Leisy, Yaron Laluz, and Asi Eliyahu. Special thanks to Shoshanah Waterman for the photos of the barley and the new moon. The Gregorian dates for the Biblical feasts based on the Aviv and the new moon from the Land of Israel are posted here. Shanah Tovah U-Mevorechet! Nehemia Gordon More Aviv Barley Found, Moon Not Sighted We looked for the moon from Israel tonight (Mar 16) but did not sight it. With only 0.77% of the illuminated portion of the moon facing earth, visibility was not expected from Israel and our attempted observations confirmed this. Tomorrow evening (Mar 17) will be New Moon Day by default, although we will still carry out observations to confirm its visibility from Israel. Earlier today we found more Aviv barley, this time in the Northern Negev at three locations in the vicinities of Tel Gama, Nachal Oz, and Kibbutz Erez. Samples of the barley were 80-100% Aviv at the various locations. I have posted two videos taken of the field near Kibbutz Erez on Youtube: Below are photos of Aviv at the three locations: Nehemia Gordon >>>Karaite Korner Newsletter<<<
