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 Sunday September 9th – Tuesday, September 11th—Rosh Hashanah literally means “Head of the Year” in Hebrew, and celebrates the Jewish New Year! It is a festive time, full of decadent meals and desserts, especially to signify the sweetness of the New Year.
- The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), the evening of Tuesday, September 18th – Wednesday, September 19th—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 Sunday September 23rd – Sunday, September 30th—Today, it is mostly observant Jewish people who celebrate this feast, which is known as “the time of our rejoicing.” The Feast of Tabernacles is a lot of fun and a true celebration so don’t miss out!
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
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
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).
