There seem to be different parts to your trumpet call
Yes, there are. I want to talk particularly about two parts today. We talked before about the alarm or teruah. Today, two more parts, two more...

Without looking very far (always a dangerous thing to do), it seems that Helena's list is mostly accurate as to feasts. And Dave's comments are as always evocative and bring extra light to the subject...

Ben, I think I hear what you're saying, and I don't necessarily disagree. We've been involved in all sorts of programs and ministries to "benefit" or "bless" what some might call "greater" Israel. We'...

Why would you want a flame proof suit for that post? I think there's LOTS of good meat there that can be cooked up into a great dish!

The sun has set, the day is done; the omers have been counted, and the anticipation was well rewarded. Pentecost 2009 has been thoroughly celebrated in our congregation here in the greater Kansas City...

This is still a work in progress, but here's the grist of it.
For whatever reason, it seems as though the Feast of First Fruits is pretty much lost in the mix of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And ...

And to offer a quick note on Helena's first post and question on this thing: "Should Christians celebrate these festivals/celebrations/holy convocations, or not?"
Most of the 23rd chapter of Leviti...

What IS a shofar, anyhow??
I'm glad you asked! Your basic shofar is really and truly the horn of a ram. That's the kind of J-shaped horn, not the American mountain goat curly-q ram that many think ...

One of the very special aspects of this particular "minor" feast is that it is probably the most public of all the celebrations in the Jewish year! Passover is to be celebrated in a family setting, pr...

Last week, we talked about making or hearing unsure sounds on the trumpet. Remember the TV show, M.A.S.H.? Remember Corporal Radar OReilly and his bugle blowing? [Lo...
