Baruch Hashem YHWH! We were able to see the 9th new moon of the year last evening just after sundown. There were numerous clouds in the western sky, swiftly moving from south to north…..but as the sky darkened, they all moved out of the way. Soon after, the crescent moon appeared. Many were able to see it in our local area, although those in the Land did not see the moon due to clouds.
Now….time to get ready for Chanukah!!
