The Fall Feasts are here!

All the news and updates you don't want to miss.

SHALOM! We are now in the time of the Fall Feasts. We have been celebrating Yom Teruah, the Feast of Trumpets, this weekend, which is just the start! Soon we will mark Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, then Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles. However, Israel has just entered a second lockdown, severely affecting family festivities once again. As many have noted, so far the biblical feasts seem to have had extra significance in this very strange year. With all the extraordinary events happening, from peace blossoming between Israel and Arab Gulf states to natural and man-made devastation rocking the world, many are doing as Jesus advised and looking up. Dr. Erez Soref, President  of ONE FOR ISRAEL  All the Biblical Feasts Point to Jesus God commanded His people: Have a feast! Take a break! He made festivals part of the Law, codifying the commandments to stop for a while and celebrate a few times a year. Of course, there’s more to it than just food and merriment (although there’s plenty of that), but there’s deep prophetic meaning woven into the tapestry of God’s mandated feasts.

Have you ever heard the stirring sound of a shofar? That ancient cry to the deep… It is a sound that the people of Israel are commanded to hear on the Feast of Trumpets, Yom haTeruah. In Israel many will be making sure that they can still hear the sound of the trumpets on this special day, despite the lockdown. It’s a beautiful, haunting sound that seems to pierce right to your soul. In fact, the Hebrew root word (שָׁפַר) has the meaning of incision – it cuts to the very heart! Jewish people now refer to the day as Rosh Hashanah which means "head of the year", since it now marks the Jewish new year according to rabbinic tradition, thought to have begun in Babylon. God has other ideas, stating in Exodus 12 that the first day of the year is the beginning of the month of Passover in the spring. However, despite this discrepancy, the start of the fall feasts comes at the beginning of the agricultural cycle, and it's interesting that God would set His own calendar so differently to all the surrounding peoples of the Middle East, breaking the annual cycle of agriculture in two.
