Jewish Customs

Most Jews celebrate this holiday for two days. As explained in the calendar chapter, the precise hour for the appearance of the new moon of Tishri could not always be ascertained, therefore, it was extended to two days. Reform Jews retained the practice of a one-day celebration.

Holiday where “of that day and hour no one will know”…Jesus is not saying don’t watch – quite the contrary. It is a Jewish idiom for Rosh Hashanah.

usually one to two years later, the man would return to the bride’s house and “steal” her away “like a thief in the night” at an hour when no one would suspect.
