How far do sliverists go? If the new moon is not sighted, the month has not begun. But if the sunset is not seen, has the day really ended? Does shabbat fail to begin if you dont see the sun physically touch the horizon because of clouds? Does shabbat go eternally until the next sunset seen? Do you withhold wages until you see the sun touch the horizon days later?

How does anyone looking at the moon determine the new month if the moon isn't sighted?
How do you determine the start of the day when the sun is blocked?
The Talmud has laws for these events which I looked at when I came to Torah and it actually makes sense as a guide on days when the sun isn't seen. Here in the UK, that is most days of the year. 😆
Wages may not be withheld till the following day, so you will have to find a solution for your own conscience and then follow that.
