8th
Chodesh
Elohim's ways are not man's ways. We invite you to celebrate this New Year Elohim's way. Join us and return to the ancient paths.
Thus says יְהוָה : “Stand in the roads and look. Ask for the ancient paths— where the good way is—and walk in it. Then you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We won’t walk in it.’

The first day, rosh chodesh

2024 this solar year.

And on the 3rd day the United States of the Americas held its presidential elections deciding the 47th President of the USA. What really rattled us was the brevity of the chodesh. True, the lunar month is unchanged. Cheshvan is the 8th "month". But the next "chodesh" using the sun will begin on the 17th day of Cheshvan. We haven't seen this before. The time it takes for the sun to travel through the Scales is typically more days than this. We decided to hold back posting until we could be confident that the data continued to generate the same outcome. It has. But what we were also concerned about was that the next chodesh's length is shortened as well. Making it possible for the 10th chodesh's sun and moon to be in alignment once again. Take a look at the screenshot of the 8th and 9th chodeshim and you will see what we saw and why we were so hesitant to post until we continued to get consistent results.
