At sunset on Monday, Wednesday, 6 February, the 30th day of
HaAḥad-‘Asar, the
eleventh month, the first light of the new moon was not sighted in the
land of Israel and neighbouring countries due to heavy cloud over.
Since no month can contain more than 30
days and, if it weren't for the clouds, the probability of sighting would
have been 100%, thus Thursday, 7 February, is Rosh Ḥodesh
HaSheneim-‘Asar [New Moon day of the twelfth
month].
Rosh Ḥodesh Mevorakh!
Ay Başı Qotlu Bolsun!
Blessed New Moon Day!

HaShesloshah-‘Asar [New Moon day of the
thirteenth
month, if the Aviv has still not been found]. Since there will only
be a 34% chance of sighting, if it is not seen, it will be the following
day.
