Biblical Hebrew Calendar
This year, as with every year since the creation
of Adam, the Biblical year begins with the declaration of
the aviv barley crop in the land of Israel. The Biblical
Hebrew calendar months are fixed according to the appearance
of the New Moon each month. Years are fixed according
to the maturity of the barley, a phototropic spring crop that
develops according to its exposure to sun.

The Astronomically
& Agriculturally Corrected Biblical Hebrew Calendar
Every year since the creation of Adam, the Biblical year begins
with the declaration of the aviv barley crop in the land of
Israel. The Biblical Hebrew calendar months are fixed
according to the appearance of the New Moon each month.
Years are fixed according to the maturity of the barley, a
phototropic spring crop that develops according to its exposure
to sun. The Biblical Year begins with the first New
Moon after the barley in Israel reaches the state in its development
which the Torah calls "Aviv," and is used in the
verse "Keep the Month of the Aviv" (Deuteronomy
16:1).The barley in the land of Israel was found to be Aviv
on March 22, 2004. The sightings were located in the
Jordan Valley and the Northern Negev regions of Israel.
These findings were confirmed by several who had gone on the
Aviv “search.” As a result of this find, the new Biblical
year has been established, making the Feast of Unleavened
Bread from sunset on Monday April 5 until sunset on Monday
April 12, 2004. Click here to continue

The Month of the
Aviv
The biblical year begins when the first new moon after the
barley in the land of Israel reaches the state in its development
that the Bible calls Aviv. Only by checking the
state of the barley crop can we fulfill the Biblical commandment
to "Keep the Month of the Aviv"(Deut 16:1).
Only by fixing the calendar in harmony with the barley crop
can we fulfill the commandment to celebrate the Hag Ha-Matzot
(Feast of Unleavened Bread) "at the time of the month
of the Aviv, because in the month of the Aviv
you went out of Egypt." (Exodus 34:18) Click

The Maiden Moon
The Talmud states that new moon witnesses can profane
the Sabbath to report their sightings. Given that it
is permissible in Jewish Law to profane the Sabbath only for
the most exceptional reasons, the importance attributed to
setting the Holy Days by the new moon sightings is noteworthy.
The
Mishnaic stipulations on a new moon witness were detailed
and rigorous. The sighted new moon fixed the month's
start, which in turn set the Hebrew Holy Days. Once
the Sanhedrin certified the sightings, the news was communicated
to far-flung Jewish communities throughout Israel and beyond.

Wire: "New Moon" Proclaimed for Kislev
And the 7th Day... - For centuries,
the rabbis have taught that just as God created the heavens
and the earth in six days and the seventh day He rested: what
this means is that man would have his time of rule upon the
earth for six thousand years, and in the seventh millennium,
the Messiah would reign.
A day with the LORD is as a thousand
years, and a thousand years is as a day: Click

The Aviv Barley & Preparation for
the 7th Millennium - The
universe in which we live is synchronized to God’s calendar
and time clock.
Correcting the “year from creation” and the reckoning
of our Feast days has become the obsession of many since Israel
returned to the land and rabbi Hillell’s calculations have
outlived their accuracy and necessity.
I was also compelled to do my part in its restoration.
What happened during the last Feast of Sukkot in the
6th millennium, could not have been anticipated
a year earlier. Click here to continue
