Is the Aviv Barley a Determining Factor Today?
It seems that at the start of every Torah Year someone out there feels a need to attack the Torah Calendar. Torah requires that the first month of the year for Israel is the month of Abib (new barley), which seems to clash with the religious traditions of some folks. Along with thousands of others I received such an attack in my email box recently. Since I found the attack not only in error but also slanderous I am offering this rebuttal of the main points of that article. The article was entitled: “Is the Aviv Barley a Determining Factor Today?” The first argument against Aviv barley signaling the beginning of the year goes something like this: “The Kairites believe in it.

JOYFUL TORAH NEW YEAR! May YHVH continue, ever so graciously, to teach us His truths as we so desire; may we have ears to hear, and sanctified hearts to receive. Amen!
Bless you Eliyahu ben David for sharing beautiful truths we/I had missed all along about the Torah New Year, which is so very obvious through what YHVH very clearly stated in Exo 12:1,2, and Adonai confirmed in the first sighting of fresh young barley ears-the name of the specified FIRST MONTH-AVIV! That is revelation! Beautiful and exciting revelation!
Takes a child-like mind to see this. (I have to add this in : )) -the barley have EARS! )
Isn’t our Abba Adonai wonderful? Glory to Yahweh!!
