RE:"Barley Watchers Needed"

I volunteer Editor - Robert Scott Wadsworth of the Biblical Astronomy Newsletters. http://www.atlbible.org/astronomy/astronomy1.htm

He presents a" New Moon" report with each newsletter along with a report on the Barley crop each year. If you sign up for his newsletter, he will send you an e-mail as soon as each newsletter is posted.

Here's an excerpt from February's report:

"The next new moon that begins the next Hebrew month will be visible from Jerusalem on March 11. This will most likely be the beginning of the month of Abib. I will publish the next issue of Biblical Astronomy shortly after that date to let you know if the barley is abib at that time. If the barley is abib at that time then Passover and the First Day of Unleavened Bread will begin at sunset on Friday March 25, 2005, which is also the beginning of the weekly Sabbath. The next issue of Biblical Astronomy will be a double March/April issue."

This is certainly easier than flying to Israel.
