Hi John and doves,

2021 Sep 7, Sep 8

in  Israel, Rosh Hashanah is the only holiday that lasts for two days as it is considered too important to be observed for only 24 hours.

Both days are considered one long day of 48 hours.

Known as the Feast of Trumpets, Rosh Hashanah is recorded in the Old Testament book of Leviticus 23:23-25 and also in Numbers 29:1-6.

has a fourfold meaning - It is the Jewish New Year, the Day of Judgement, the Day of Remembrance, and the Day of Shofar Blowing.

It is the Day of Judgement - Jews across the world examine their past deeds and asks for forgiveness for their sins.
It is the Day of Shofar Blowing - The Shofar (an ancient musical horn usually made of a ram's horn) is blown in temples to herald the beginning of the 10 day period known as the High Holy Days. The sound of the horn is meant to awaken the hearers from their spiritual slumber, to make them aware of their actions and their repercussions


Did you know?
According to Judaism, Rosh Hashanah is traditionally the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve.

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the people of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall observe a day of solemn rest, a memorial proclaimed with blast of trumpets, a holy convocation. You shall not do any ordinary work, and you shall present a food offering to the Lord ."
Leviticus 23:23‭-‬25 ESV

"On the first day of the seventh month you shall have a holy convocation. You shall not do any ordinary work. It is a day for you to blow the trumpets, and you shall offer a burnt offering, for a pleasing aroma to the Lord : one bull from the herd, one ram, seven male lambs a year old without blemish; also their grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil, three tenths of an ephah for the bull, two tenths for the ram, and one tenth for each of the seven lambs; with one male goat for a sin offering, to make atonement for you; besides the burnt offering of the new moon, and its grain offering, and the regular burnt offering and its grain offering, and their drink offering, according to the rule for them, for a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the Lord .
Numbers 29:1‭-‬6 ESV


wheat flour, oil, wine.. what does that remind me of?

And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine!"
Revelation 6:6 ESV
