SUMMARY:Rosh Hashanah  - The Festival of Trumpets
DESCRIPTION:Rosh Hashanah is the birthday of the universe\, the day G‑d created Adam and Eve. Rosh Hashanah feasts traditionally include round challah bread (studded with raisins) and apples dipped in honey\, as well as other foods that symbolize our wishes for a sweet year. Rosh Hashanah is observed on the first two days of the Jewish new year\, Tishrei 1 and 2\, beginning at sundown on the eve of Tishrei 1. Rosh Hashanah is celebrated with candle lighting in the evenings\, festive meals with sweet delicacies during the night and day\, prayer services that include the sounding of the ram’s horn (shofar) on both mornings\, and desisting from creative work. \nNumbers 29:1–6 \nwhich prescribes the sacrifices that were to be offered up on Rosh Hashanah.\n“‘On the first day of the seventh month hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work. It is a day for you to sound the trumpets. 2 As an aroma pleasing to the Lord\, offer a burnt offering of one young bull\, one ram and seven male lambs a year old\, all without defect. 3 With the bull offer a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah[a] of the finest flour mixed with olive oil; with the ram\, two-tenths[b]; 4 and with each of the seven lambs\, one-tenth.[c] 5 Include one male goat as a sin offering[d] to make atonement for you. 6 These are in addition to the monthly and daily burnt offerings with their grain offerings and drink offerings as specified.

SUMMARY:Yom Kippur - The Day of Atonement
DESCRIPTION:Yom Kippur fast day is the holiest day of the year—when we are closest to YAH and to the quintessence of our own souls. It is the Day of Atonement—“For on this day He will forgive you\, to purify you\, that you be cleansed from all your sins before YAH” (Leviticus 16:30). For nearly twenty-six hours—from several minutes before sunset on 9 Tishrei (Oct. 11) to after nightfall on 10 Tishrei (Oct. 12)—we “afflict our souls”: we abstain from food and drink\, do not wash or anoint our bodies\, do not wear leather footwear\, and abstain from marital relations. Instead\, our time is spent in prayer to God YAHWEH.  \nYom Kippur was the annual day where the Temple\, the priesthood and the people would cleansed\, having all sins covered. A kind of fresh start! This was the only day where the High Priest would enter the Holy of Holies. The ritual (described in Leviticus 16) would include the sacrifice of a bull and two goats. \nThe Holy Bible \nThe Lord spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron who died when they approached the Lord. 2 The Lord said to Moses: “Tell your brother Aaron that he is not to come whenever he chooses into the Most Holy Place behind the curtain in front of the atonement cover on the ark\, or else he will die. For I will appear in the cloud over the atonement cover. \n3 “This is how Aaron is to enter the Most Holy Place: He must first bring a young bull for a sin offering[a] and a ram for a burnt offering. 4 He is to put on the sacred linen tunic\, with linen undergarments next to his body; he is to tie the linen sash around him and put on the linen turban. These are sacred garments; so he must bathe himself with water before he puts them on. 5 From the Israelite community he is to take two male goats for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering. \n6 “Aaron is to offer the bull for his own sin offering to make atonement for himself and his household. 7 Then he is to take the two goats and present them before the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 8 He is to cast lots for the two goats—one lot for the Lord and the other for the scapegoat.[b] 9 Aaron shall bring the goat whose lot falls to the Lord and sacrifice it for a sin offering. 10 But the goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the Lord to be used for making atonement by sending it into the wilderness as a scapegoat. \n11 “Aaron shall bring the bull for his own sin offering to make atonement for himself and his household\, and he is to slaughter the bull for his own sin offering. 12 He is to take a censer full of burning coals from the altar before the Lord and two handfuls of finely ground fragrant incense and take them behind the curtain. 13 He is to put the incense on the fire before the Lord\, and the smoke of the incense will conceal the atonement cover above the tablets of the covenant law\, so that he will not die. 14 He is to take some of the bull’s blood and with his finger sprinkle it on the front of the atonement cover; then he shall sprinkle some of it with his finger seven times before the atonement cover. \n15 “He shall then slaughter the goat for the sin offering for the people and take its blood behind the curtain and do with it as he did with the bull’s blood: He shall sprinkle it on the atonement cover and in front of it. 16 In this way he will make atonement for the Most Holy Place because of the uncleanness and rebellion of the Israelites\, whatever their sins have been. He is to do the same for the tent of meeting\, which is among them in the midst of their uncleanness. 17 No one is to be in the tent of meeting from the time Aaron goes in to make atonement in the Most Holy Place until he comes out\, having made atonement for himself\, his household and the whole community of Israel. \n18 “Then he shall come out to the altar that is before the Lord and make atonement for it. He shall take some of the bull’s blood and some of the goat’s blood and put it on all the horns of the altar. 19 He shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times to cleanse it and to consecrate it from the uncleanness of the Israelites. \n20 “When Aaron has finished making atonement for the Most Holy Place\, the tent of meeting and the altar\, he shall bring forward the live goat. 21 He is to lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the wickedness and rebellion of the Israelites—all their sins—and put them on the goat’s head. He shall send the goat away into the wilderness in the care of someone appointed for the task. 22 The goat will carry on itself all their sins to a remote place; and the man shall release it in the wilderness. \n23 “Then Aaron is to go into the tent of meeting and take off the linen garments he put on before he entered the Most Holy Place\, and he is to leave them there. 24 He shall bathe himself with water in the sanctuary area and put on his regular garments. Then he shall come out and sacrifice the burnt offering for himself and the burnt offering for the people\, to make atonement for himself and for the people. 25 He shall also burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar. \n26 “The man who releases the goat as a scapegoat must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water; afterward he may come into the camp. 27 The bull and the goat for the sin offerings\, whose blood was brought into the Most Holy Place to make atonement\, must be taken outside the camp; their hides\, flesh and intestines are to be burned up. 28 The man who burns them must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water; afterward he may come into the camp. \n29 “This is to be a lasting ordinance for you: On the tenth day of the seventh month you must deny yourselves[c] and not do any work—whether native-born or a foreigner residing among you— 30 because on this day atonement will be made for you\, to cleanse you. Then\, before the Lord\, you will be clean from all your sins. 31 It is a day of sabbath rest\, and you must deny yourselves; it is a lasting ordinance. 32 The priest who is anointed and ordained to succeed his father as high priest is to make atonement. He is to put on the sacred linen garments 33 and make atonement for the Most Holy Place\, for the tent of meeting and the altar\, and for the priests and all the members of the community. \n34 “This is to be a lasting ordinance for you: Atonement is to be made once a year for all the sins of the Israelites.” \nAnd it was done\, as the Lord commanded Moses. \nThe Day of Atonement \n“‘On the tenth day of this seventh month hold a sacred assembly. You must deny yourselves[e] and do no work. 8 Present as an aroma pleasing to the Lord a burnt offering of one young bull\, one ram and seven male lambs a year old\, all without defect. 9 With the bull offer a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with oil; with the ram\, two-tenths; 10 and with each of the seven lambs\, one-tenth. 11 Include one male goat as a sin offering\, in addition to the sin offering for atonement and the regular burnt offering with its grain offering\, and their drink offerings.

SUMMARY:Sukkot 2024 - The Festival of Tabernacles
DESCRIPTION:The seven days of Sukkot—celebrated by dwelling in the sukkah\, we expose ourselves to the elements in greenery-covered huts—commemorates God sheltering our ancestors as they traveled from Egypt to the Promised Land. The Four Kinds express our unity and our belief in God’s omnipresence. Coming after the solemn High Holidays\, Sukkot is a time of joy and happiness \nThe first two days (or one day in Israel) are yom tov when work is forbidden\, candles are lit in the evening\, and festive meals are preceded with Kiddush and contain challah dipped in honey.  \nKeeping of Sukkot is detailed in the Holy Bible Leviticus 23:33–44\, Nehemiah 8:13–18\, Zechariah 14:16–19  \nThe Feast of Tabernacles is also described in Numbers 29:12-32\, During the Feast of Tabernacles there seems to be a gradual decrease in the number of bulls offered from the first day (13) to the last day (7). What is of note is that only the bulls offered decrees in number whilst the other animals remained the same throughout. It also shows the coverage of 70 nations\, 13+12+11+10+9+8+7 = 70 that will be covered by the blood of the eternal Holy Lamb\, which was prepared by the God of Abraham\, and God prophetically showed Abraham by providing the lamb when god stopped him from sacrificing his son Isaac.  \nThe festival of Tabernacles also shows us how we need to leap and wean on a diet if we take it into our daily routine life in food. From morning to evening\, we need to decrease the meal quantity. Medically the way our internal clocks operate\, our bodies are primed to digest and metabolize food early in the day. As the day progresses\, our metabolisms become less efficient. Studies show that a meal consumed at 9 a.m. can have vastly different metabolic effects than the same meal consumed at 9 p.m. Because of the way our internal clocks operate\, our bodies are primed to digest and metabolize food early in the day.
