Website look

On June 29, 2019 0 Comments - From the President

You may notice the new look of the website on certain pages. This was not completely by our choice. WordPress changed to a Block style of the pages from the Classic style. Old pages still appear in the Classic style and can be added to in that style, but all new pages are in the Block style. In this new Block style, we are unable to alter the text colors as before (even though it is an option listed) and have changed to highlighting the background colors for emphasis. All links were originally posted as red texts, but this isn’t available in the Block style. We appreach your visit to the site and comments are welcome.

Summer heat

The summer heat can be very draining to your body. Please be careful and drink plenty of fluids. Stay cool and protect YaHVaH’s temple (your body).

Caution

On April 19, 2019 0 Comments - From the President

I caution everyone to be very careful on which Passover/Pesach Seder you attend. There are some being advertised and performed that are not the traditional Seder. Rather, they push their own doctrines and ministry without bringing in the reasons for the Seder. Remember, the Passover means two things. It is the festival of Unleavened Bread commanded in the Torah for us to observe and it is the celebration of Yeshua’s deliverance of all from sin by being our Passover Lamb. Shalom.

5779 New Year

On April 5, 2019 0 Comments - From the President

5779 NEW YEAR, or is it 6024?

When do you believe the New Year starts? The rabbinical calendar (or should I say secular) starts in the Fall at Tishri 1. Yet, the Biblical calendar says Abiyb (now called Nissan) is the first of the months of the year.

Ask which is the true New Year Day? And when do we start the New Year? Are we in 5779? Did we go wrong on the years too? By my calculations we should be in the year 6023. Research it all out and ask yourself what the true NEW YEAR is.

Spring is the time of rebirth. It makes sense that YaHVaH would choose the Springtime as the beginning of the Year. So why did the Rabbis change it to the fall? Abiyb, the Biblical New Year is in the Spring. Fri, 05 April 2019 at sundown (1st of Nisan, 5779). The first six months of the Jewish calendar are Nissan, Iyar, Sivan, Tammuz, Av and Elul. The final six months of the Jewish calendar are Tishri, Cheshvan, Kislev, Tevet, Shevat and Adar. On leap years, a thirteenth month is added to the end of the Jewish year. If this true, then why do we see the calendar listed as below:

Notice how the Calendar for 5779 is started on 1st of Tishrei? But why, if this is the 7th month? So, should the New Year 5779 begin on Tishrei or Abiyb? And, should we be in 5780 instead of 5779?

Happy New Year USA

As many of you know, the Hebrew New Year isn’t the same as the USA New Year. Today is New Year’s Eve for the US and many other countries. Enjoy yourselves, but be safe and don’t over do it. Shalom.
