Todah achi, thanks for watching and for your comment.

Yeh, no problem...

Shalom and thanks for watching

Shalom achi. I hope you found the video helpful

Shalom thanks for the teaching but the images that keep moving is a little distracted keep up the good work 🙌🏾

Shalom, 2 Divrey Hayamim "Chronicles" 30 doesn't say "When the heart is right the ritual is right." Keeping Pesach in the 2nd month is actually proscribed in Torah if one cannot keep Pesach in the first month due to being ritually impure by virtue of a dead body. Read B'midbar "Number" 9:1-14. ""Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'If any one of you or of your generations becomes unclean because of a [dead] person, or is on a distant journey, he may, however, celebrate the Passover to YHWH. In the second month on the fourteenth day at twilight, they shall celebrate it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.'" (B'midbar "Numbers" 9:10-11 NASB20) I invite you to watch the series on the Key to understanding the word of Yah. kzfaq.info/sun/PL5-KXjji64_tDPR5MY6jSN3kwd9VcLHNx&si=5KRruDuqNR3LDFLA Shalom, Shalom, Moriyah

@@talmideiyhwh hmm thank you

Shalom, thanks again for this question. I'll be addressing this question in an upcoming video, but in short, the weekly Shabbath is not based on the moon at all. Just read Shemoth 16. Every 6 days they gathered manna and rested every 7th day. There's no mention of some weeks having more than 7 days or less than 7 days which is what would be required if shabbat was based on the moon. Shabbat is a weekly cycle from creation. The 4th matter (commandment) makes this clear as well (Shemoth 20:8-11). There's no mention of the moon with regards to Shabbat. Those teaching a moon based Shabbat are misleading people.

@@talmideiyhwh thank you

Shalom Achot and thanks for your comment and question. I'm not sure if I fully understand your questions, and it may be helpful to talk by phone. I believe we've emailed each other already (moriyah.webster@gmail.com). We can setup a time to talk. In short, the weekly Shabbat is a cycle of seven days from creation. The article on "Understanding the Calendar" that I wrote may prove helpful in understanding this point. Annual Holy days, Annual Shabbatot (as listed in Wayikra 23) can fall on any day of the week. This year, the 1st day of Hag Hamtzot חג המצות is on Yom Rishon aligning with 3/24/24 on the Gregorian calendar, and starts with the evening of what most call "Saturday night." But the 7th day of חג המצות falls on the weekly Shabbat and starts on what most call "Friday night." In our ancient custom, a day always starts with the dark part of the day -- "there was evening, there was morning, the first day, etc". I hope this helps, and I'm happy to discuss this on the phone if that will help. Shalom, Shalom, Moriyah

@@talmideiyhwh ok. Thank you. I will let my Covering know and we will contact you. What time zone are you in please?

Shalom:) Shabbat begins on the eve of the 6th day, the fullness of the day being the 7th(Shabbat)day, until sundown,hope this helps.

Shalom and thanks for your question. One of the key points I made in the video is that the new moon is a calculated moon and not based on observing the actual dark moon which as you point out cannot actually be seen. The new moon is the astronomical conjunction. Therefore, even though the moon is in a dark phase for 1.5 to 3 days, the actual conjunction, or New Moon, is a specific moment in time when the Moon and the Sun share the same ecliptic longitude. At this moment, the Moon is directly between the Earth and the Sun. The mistake many make is to believe that ancient societies were incapable of making calculations to know the exact conjunction, but ancient societies not only knew how to calculate the moon conjunction, but even understood how to calculate the equinox and precession of the equinoxes which span 25,772 years. Moreover, the ancients of Yucatan, Mexico built a pyramid at Chichen Itza in such a way that during the spring and fall equinoxes the sun of the late afternoon creates the illusion of a snake creeping slowly down the northern staircase. Obviously, the ancients had much more knowledge and capability of astronomical calculations than modern scholars wish to credit them. But beyond this, calculating the new moon doesn't even require the type of sophisticated mathematical and astronomical capability spoken above. It seems complicated to us who spend most of our time indoors and rarely watch the moon or sun rise and set. But for those who spend most of their time outdoors, even today, such calculations are almost second nature. I experienced this while spending time with indigenous tribal folks in Guyana, South America of the Awarewanau tribe who could look up at the sun at almost any time of day and tell me the precise time without having a watch. So how do we know the conjunction today? 1) Simply use the website www.timeanddate.com/moon/phases/israel/jerusalem 2) If you want to calculate it yourself, here are some steps: 1. Track Moonrise and Moonset: Note the time and position (azimuth) of the moonrise and moonset daily. 2. Identify Patterns: Around the conjunction, the Moon will be very close to the Sun in the sky and will rise and set with the Sun. You will also notice a pattern of how far the azimuth is changing on a daily basis, hence you will be able to predict the exact conjunction. This may take a couple of months for someone inexperienced, but after a couple of months, this will become obvious. Just before the conjunction, the waning crescent moon will rise shortly before sunrise. After the conjunction, the waxing crescent moon will set shortly after sunset. 3. Estimate the Conjunction: When the Moon’s rise and set times are nearly the same as the Sun’s, it indicates the conjunction. I hope you found this helpful. Shalom, Shalom, Moriyah

Moreh, thank you for the response to my question and especially for the website citing the times of new moon, solar equinox's etc, it'll definitely help, although I tend to do the observations and calculations myself, but for accuracy, it should be based on the times of Jerusalem/Egypt, especially when one needs to determine the accurate new moon for the beginning of months/new year and remembrance of Passover and keeping of unleavened bread. So again, thanks and Peace be to you and yours.

Shalom Achi, please read this article: "Understanding the Calendar." drive.google.com/file/d/1eLv6KbHKTlcFdZyUamcaDGVPNyekOuse/view?usp=sharing It explains when a new year begins. In short, years are solar, and start with the astronomical event, in this case, when the Spring equinox, takes place. The first month will always be the new moon closest to the equinox which means that the barley harvest, which will start on the day after the shabbat that falls during Hag Hamatzot will always start on or after the Spring equinox. The barley is always ready for harvest by the equinox as harvest cycles align with what we call seasons, and seasons start with the equinoxes and solstices.

Thanks for the link...and the reply... Will check it out.. Todah and Shalom!

Shalom shalom the video for Pesach this year was very informative :),@kabzielbenyisrael6971,1st Kings 4:7 and 1 Chronicles 27:1-15 are indicators that TMH gave us 12 months,I 'm wondering if a 13 month(Adar II) was added because it was/is a leap year??

Shalom achi and thanks for your question and the verses you shared. As we know, lunar months don’t fit neatly in a solar year. There are approximately 12.37 lunar months in a solar year from one new moon to the next. This calculation is based on the lunar month’s average length of about 29.53 days, while a solar year is about 365.25 days (Spring equinox to Spring equinox). In both of the references, we are given the basic (generalized) information where essentially, there are 12 lunar months in any given year, so there are 12 officers or deputies named to provide food during the year, one each month. Likewise there are 12 divisions of the army, each serving a month in the year and in Divrey Hayamim we see that each division is assigned a specific numbered month. Anciently, names weren’t used for the months. There is no mention of how they accounted for the fact that the lunar year would be short by about 1/3 month of the solar year meaning that at some point 13 new moons would take place prior to the new moon counted as the first month of the year. As the text doesn’t answer this, we can only speculate that they had a method of accounting for this fairly so that the responsibility was equally shared. But we really don’t know.

Shalom and thanks for your compliment on the turban, and thanks for watching. Shalom, Shalom, Moriyah

Shalom and thanks for your comment. Indeed, Yisrael did keep Pesach "...in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt..." (B'midbar 9:1) as you noted. However, that was the last Pesach they kept while they were in the wilderness (b'midbar). For the next 38 years, until they entered the land of Canaan, they didn't keep Pesach (Yehoshua "Josh" 5:2-10).

Shalom achi. The 2nd pesach (14th day of the 2nd new moon) will align with Gregorian calendar date of 4/22/24. Which means the pesach meal will be eaten as the 15th day of the month starts, when the sun sets on 4/22/24 and 4/23/24 begins. Please see the link below. The first day of the 2nd new moon aligns with 4/9/24. www.timeanddate.com/moon/phases/israel/jerusalem

@@talmideiyhwh May 24, 2024 Is The Correct Answer^^

Shalom and thanks for your comment. You make a statement but cite no verse from the Torah to support what you are saying. Our goal here is to follow what is revealed in the Torah and TANAK.
