Rosh Hashanah & Yahweh’s Feasts
2025/5785-5786
In Yeshua’s time, Rosh HaShanah was declared when the first crescent sliver of the new moon was seen from the land of Israel (by natural eye), and the first full omer of aviv barley firstfruits (symbolic of Yeshua) would be ready 15-21 days later. Then, six months later, the feast dates for the seventh month are finalized based on the sighting of the new moon of the 7th month.
The new moon of the first Hebrew month was seen on 30 March 5785/2025 (evening) by multiple witnesses. As of 18 March, a presentable sheaf of aviv barley is ready to present on Yom HaNafat HaOmer, 20 April 2025. (See Torah Calendar News for full reports.)
Feasts of the first month are officially finalized. Feast dates for the seventh month will be finalized after confirmation of the new moon of the seventh month. Rosh HaShanah sameach! And happy feasts of the first month!
7th Shabbat in count is 7 June 5785/2025. Shavuot is 8 June. (Chag sameach! Happy feast!)
