Happy New Year - Biblical New Year, that is
It's the first new moon of the biblical year (Ex. 12:1-2).
ADONAI said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, "This month is to be for you the first month, the first month of your year."
Sure, Tishri 1 starts off the civil calendar in either September or November. But Nisan 1 kicks off the new Biblical year. The new moon hit Israel at around 6pm local. This new moon officially sets up all the Feast dates for the year. Passover is 14 days from tonight... according to Exodus 12:6.
Shalom.
