What is "New Moon"?​

New Moon just means new month / first day of the month. 

​

Also the first fase of the moon is called "New Moon".

​

But on the Hebrew calendar it is the first day of the month.

​

A lunar year is 354 days.

A solar year is 364 days.

​

The sun is responsible for the seasons.

Spring, summer, fall, winter.

​

If you follow the months based on the moon strictly, each season, feast day, holiday will be 10 days earlier every year.

After each 9 years each season, feast day, holiday will be one seaon earlier.

For example: Passover in wintertime, tabernacles in summer time. Feast of harvest after 18 years in wintertime, when there is nothing to harvest. This is off.

​

Calculating the months and years based on the moon is clearly full of errors.

​

Therefor we conclude that the "New Moon"is just the first day of the month.

​

We do not have to observe the moon for knowing the first day of the month.
