Maybe for you, September means the start of the school year — or the return to a busy schedule after a restful summer.

For Jewish people, the fall season usually means preparing for the High Holidays:

  • The New Year (Rosh Hashanah), the evening of the 1st of Tishrei – the evening of the 3rd of Tishrei — In general, even the most secular Jewish people will celebrate Rosh Hashanah (literally— the head of the year).
  • The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), the evening of the 10th of Tishrei —This is considered the holiest day of the Jewish calendar and will be observed in some way by nearly every Jewish person.
  • The Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), the evening of the 15th of Tishrei — the 23rd of Tishrei — Fewer Jewish people celebrate this feast, although, after the seriousness of the first two, the Feast of Tabernacles is a lot of fun and known as a time of great rejoicing!

For you, as a believer in Yeshua the Messiah, these High Holidays still have great meaning and can bring you a great blessing.

Explore Rosh Hashanah

pomegranate

Rosh Hashanah, literally “Head of the Year,” marks the beginning of the Jewish New Year. It also marks the beginning of the ten Days of Awe leading up to Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.

Explore Yom Kippur

Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the most solemn day in the Jewish calendar. The Bible describes Yom Kippur as a day of affliction (Lev 16; 23:26-32).

Explore Sukkot

Sukkah booth torah

Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles, is a week-long feast during which the Jewish community builds temporary shelters (sukkot means “booths” in Hebrew) to remind each generation that our forefathers lived as nomads, wandering in the desert for forty years (Lev. 23:42-43).
