9 February 2024
As of 9 February 2024, we have received no report of aviv barley in the land of Israel. Becca has found barley that is in a young, white stage. The heads of this barley are standing straight up and do not have any starch in them at this time. It is still a “watch and see” situation whether we will have any barley in the aviv stage in time to declare Rosh HaShanah at the next (February) new moon, or to declare a 13th Hebrew month. For further information on Becca Biderman’s recent barley update, please watch: Becca Biderman: Southern Barley Video.
