Biblical Holidays

Posted in Daily Life

I have been hearing about more Christians celebrating what most consider Jewish holidays and it has gotten me interested.  Lucky for me I have a great friend whose husband and daughters are Messianic Jews, so I have someone to ask questions to.  She has let me borrow some books to look at to learn about these holidays and how to celebrate them. 
Her daughters are friends with my daughters and they have seen some of the Jewish rituals/prayers while being in their home and my girls think they are so beautiful.  This coming Friday Alexis has been invited to dinner and Shabbat to celebrate Rosh Hashanah with their family.  She is very excited.
Amy has let me borrow some books about the Jewish holidays and I've been looking at them this evening. Since they are book that I would need on hand if I was going to try and celebrate the holidays with our family, I chose some that I liked to purchase.


I've already bought A Family Guide to the Biblical Holidays by Robin Scarlata  

and tonight I ordered the following:


God's Appointed Times by Barney Kasdan

 


 

Celebrate! Stories of the Jewish Holiday


 

And finally The Family Treasury of Jewish Holidays

I was supposed to have another family come for Shabbat dinner tomorrow night, but with my sick family, we postponed.I do hope we're all better for Saturday so we can go to Yom Teruah - Rosh Hashanna. I'm blessed to be involved in a Messianic congregation, so my learning curve was quite quick. I've been Torah Observant for 2 years now.

In a two weeks we'll be hosting our whole congregation for a Sukkot evening. All will come here, we'll have a meal outside - in the cold (I'm in Saskatchewan) and then dance and talk around the bonfires.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." ~Jeremiah 29:11-13
