 Hi nancylee. This reminds me in away of an evening my late husband and I spent in a Jewish resturant ( we love the food) However we had to sit and wait until the first star appeared in the sky before the kitchen would open.It was a learning period for us.

 This is the way the new month would be recognized in a time when our lives were not ruled to the second by the clock. Once sighted, a bonfire was built on the hilltop and watchers on other hills, seeing it,lit their own fires, passing the signal along.
