Chag Sameach!
It’s been a long summer but I’m back in town and wanted to let you all know that I have updated the Yahoo Calendar page to show the Rabbinic and Biblical holidays (as determined by the moon sighting of this past Friday evening in Jerusalem). Please go to the link at the top right of this page to see the calendar- click on Month view if it isn’t there already to get an overview of how the appointed times are going to play out over the next few weeks. For those of you like me who are part of a Rabbinic community but also want to observe the real Biblical moedim, it’s going to be a bit tricky, but not impossible. Only one day will stand out, the Biblical Yom Kippur which falls out on a Monday. Everything else is disguised via Shabbat, so it won’t look strange to be observing them, Baruch Hashem. If you will be observing Yom Kippur with a Rabbinic community, talk to Elohim about the situation and see if you feel any strong impression from the Spirit about what to do. That’s the best advice I can give you if you live and work in a place where observing it on Monday would be obvious and cause you difficulty. If you do not live in such a community, then you must arrange this week to take off work Monday in order to observe the Biblical date properly. While Elohim does appreciate intentions, observing the letter of the commandments is always a good plan.
