Yom Kippur and Sukkot are more than appointed days on the calendar—they point us toward Yeshua and the fulfillment of God’s promises. Join me as I share a conversation with my children that opened the door to exploring the meaning, prophetic significance, and beautiful connections found in these biblical feasts, along with activities to help teach these truths to the next generation.

Bountiful harvest of Israel showcased with figs, pomegranates, grapes, dates, olives, and wheat, symbolizing prosperity and tradition. As we move between Shavuot (Pentecost) the giving of the law and the Holy Spirit, and Yom Teruah (the Feast of Trumpets), Israel enters the season of harvesting grapes, figs, and dates. It is also during this period that Israel remembers the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. While much attention is given to the Temple's destruction,

As we move from the spring feasts into the fall feasts, we enter what I like to call the season of the three W's: waiting, working, and watching. The Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) reminds us to live with expectation as we await the return of Messiah. Throughout Scripture, trumpets announced the coronation of a king, gathered God's people, and called Israel to battle. Could these themes point us toward the return of Yeshua, the resurrection of the faithful, and the establish

A decorative arrangement of fresh fruits, including apples, pears, oranges, grapes, and pomegranates, presented on elegant gold trays, creating a vibrant and inviting display against a rich red background. Wow! Here we are between the Spring Feasts—Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, and the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot/Pentecost)—and the Fall Feasts—Trumpets (Yom Teruah), Atonement (Yom Kippur), and Tabernacles (Sukkot). As believers, we understand that the Tabernacle i

Understanding the Meaning of the Omer and Shavuot for Believers Today Golden ears of barley sway gently under a clear blue sky, ready for harvest in a sunlit field. As the barley harvest season is coming to an end, and the wheat harvest is about to begin in Israel, we approach the fiftieth day, Pentecost. But why does this matter today after the resurrection of Yeshua? Why should believers still pay attention to the biblical appointed times? Many believe that Yeshua fulfilled

Matzah bread is placed atop a traditional tallit alongside a cup, symbolizing elements of a Passover celebration. Passover is one of the most powerful and prophetic Feast Days in Scripture. Celebrated by Jews and Christians alike, Passover commemorates the children of Israel’s deliverance from slavery in Egypt. Yet beyond the historical exodus, Passover reveals a deeper redemption—the freedom Jesus the Passover Lamb brings from slavery to sin (Romans 6:6–22). When we understa

Introduction: Why the Sabbath Matters Israelite ushers in the Sabbath feast day, blowing the shofar against a serene sunset backdrop. The significance of the Sabbath day goes far beyond being a weekly day of rest. According to Scripture, it is the foundation of God’s appointed times (mo’edim), established at the very beginning of creation and woven throughout the entire Bible. From Genesis to Revelation, the Sabbath’s significance points to God’s plan for salvation, sanctifi

Yeshua and Hanukkah are often seen as separate—one a winter tradition and the other the center of our faith. However, the story goes far deeper. Hanukkah is more than candles, dreidels, and remembering a miracle. At its core, it is a celebration of being set apart, refusing to conform to the world, and standing for truth—even when it costs everything. A few years ago, I read the full account of Hanukkah in the Book of Maccabees. It completely changed how I understood this ce
