SUKKOT – The Feast of Tabernacles

The Hebrew Bible calls it  “Chag HaSukkot,” “Festival of the Booths” (Leviticus 23:34-36). This Festival is concluded after eight days, known in Hebrew as Shemini Atzeret. God commanded His people to build booths and live in these temporary dwellings during Sukkot to remind us of our humble beginnings in the wilderness.  “You shall dwell in booths for seven days”  (Leviticus 23:42-43).

Christmas Through Jewish Eyes

We are looking forward to celebrating the two great holidays observed in December – Hanukkah and Christmas.
On Hanukkah, we focus on the rededication of the Temple during the days of the Maccabees, a family of Jewish warriors who saved the Jewish people from the Greek leader Antiochus Epiphanes.
Christmas, of course, points us to the redemption of both Jews and Gentiles through the One who was born to be the Savior of the world.
