What is Yom Teruah or the Feast of Trumpets in the bible? What is its meaning and how do we celebrate it biblically?
I remember when I first heard about Purim; I was rather new in my faith, even though I had been a Christian for a few years. I guess you could say that I was on milk for quite a while because of my laziness in reading the Word. I was, however familiar with the story of Esther.

You've have heard about the Jewish holidays. Should Christians care about the Biblical feasts and festivals ? Why or why not?
The fact is that numerological numbers, determined by assigning a number to each letter of an individual’s name as well as the day of birth as they appears on the birth certificate, are unique to each and every person. In simple terms, numerological numbers are calculated by taking the sum of these numbers and combining them in a variety of ways. Generally, they are then interpreted and presented in a numerology report. However, with knowledge and understanding you can do this yourself. A comprehensive numerology report may initially appear somewhat intimidating as it may likely contain information derived from a
Just a reminder that the Fall Feasts are approaching quickly! It's hard to believe isn't it? Yom Teruah is September 24 at sundown until the 25th at sundown. Rabinically through the 26th. Yom Kippur is October 3 at sundown and the eight day celebration of Sukkot begins October 8th. Though Yom Teruah falls in the seventh month it is considered the new year spiritually, on the Hebrew calendar (it will be the year 5775), and is known as Rosh Hashanah--the head of the year. Tell the people of Israel, "In the seventh month, the first of the month is to be for you a day of complete rest for remembering, a holy convocation announced with blasts on the shofar. Do not do any kind of ordinary work, and bring an offering made by fire to YHWH." -Vayikra 23:23-25 Where these feasts fall on the calendar used to seem a bit off to me. Last year I was so frustrated with the timing of the festivals and their no-work prohibitions because the garden was ripe with produce and if I wasn't working I needed to be preserving the harvest. I felt I didn't have time for extra days off, in addition to Shabbat. Finally, it occurred to me that might be exactly why YHWH positioned the feasts when he did. Because he knew we wouldn't make time to rest in the midst of the harvest. Surely he anticipated what a hectic time of year this is for an agriculturally driven society. He is taking care of us, making sure when get rest even when we don't look out for ourselves. Slowing down for the feasts is a natural and lovely transition between seasons. It is a time to let go of the frantic pace of summer, refocus on YHWH and embrace this new, slower season. Rest. Remembrance. Shofar. Offering. Let's get ready for this new year! We are just two weeks away!

"You shall take on the first day the boughs of good trees, branches of palm trees, boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall have simcha before YHWH your Elohim for seven days." -Vayikra 23:40 From the above passage in Leviticus is where the idea of arbah minim or four species comes from during the Sukkot celebration. The species of trees are thought to be palm, myrtle, citron, and willow. These are the species that make up the traditional lulav that is used during Sukkot celebrations. I thought it would be fun to use four species of trees in a different way--lemonade! Since it's tough to find citron I used lemon and lime instead. Coconut water made up the palm element. And while some parts of the willow and myrtle family are technically edible they aren't easy to track down and don't really lend themselves to a refreshing beverage. So I decided I would just use four different species of fruit trees, and added pomegranate juice. Look at that beautiful color! It is just as refreshing as it looks. Four Species Lemonade Recipe: 2 cups coconut water 1/2 cup pomegranate juice 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice 1 cup plain kombucha (optional to add some fizz and probiotics, you could sub more coconut water) Ice Mix all these ingredients in a pitcher and serve with lots of ice! That's it. Really easy right? The coconut water is sweet to begin with so you don't need to add any extra sweetener, so it makes this lemonade a better option than most. You don't have to use kombucha but it is a great way to include the health benefits of probiotics. You could also use a lemon flavored kombucha and save yourself the step of squeezing the lemons. This is a really simple way to do something a little bit out of the ordinary for the Feasts. Let me know what you think if you try it! Do you have a favorite fall feast recipe?
