The Jewish new moon should start with the sighting of the first sliver of light seen on the moon over Jerusalem. However, the 16th of February on the 'Jewish' calendar starts the 1st Adar on the astronomical new moon new moon:https://www.hebcal.com/converter/?gd=16&gm=2&gy=2018&g2h=1
The reason why this is so is because the modern Jewish calendar was invented by Jewish Rabbi Hillel II in 359 AD and he used the 19 year repeating lunar cycle known as the Metonic cycle, (named after the Greek astronomer Meton of Athens) to approximate when the observable new moon is but it is only correct about half the time.
This proves that the modern Jewish calendar is man made and was designed to replicate God's original calendar given to Moses and which Jesus also used. The reason why this is important is because all of the feasts Jesus fulfilled were calculated using this Calendar:
Passover = Easter
Shavuot = Pentecost
Tabernacles = Harvest Festival
Deuteronomy 16:16
Three times a year all your men must appear before the LORD your God at the place he will choose:
1. Passover = Easter - FULFILLED BY JESUS
2. Shavuot = Pentecost - FULFILLED BY JESUS
3. Tabernacles = Harvest festival -TO BE FULFILLED BY JESUS AT HIS SECOND COMING!
