Shalom all,
    This is Adar 1, by default.  No sighting of the New Moon, means that the new month begins on the 31st. day because no lunar month is longer than 29.5/30.00 days in length.  The clouds over Jerusalem, and Israel are just a natural sign of what is happening in the spiritual; I believe.  These are dark days for Israel and the whole world.  Truly an ushering in of Purim time.   Miriam

New Moon Report

Twelfth Month

On Thursday February 10, 2005 observers across Israel looked for the New
Moon, however, it was not visible due to heavy cloud coverage.  This evening
was the 31st evening from the previous sighting making it Rosh Chodesh by
default.  On the previous evening (Feb 9) the moon was not visible from
Israel.
