ROSH HA-SHANAH
Feast of Trumpets: Returning AnewSondra and I started reading the bible on the Torah schedule. We started on Rosh Ha-shanah or Jewish New Year. Rosh Ha-shanah is the returning anew or tushuva of ourlives. Tushuva is the hebrew word for repent which more literarily means to return to how we should be. I really enjoy reading by the torah schedule because it’s roots go back to and past the time of Jesus (Yeshua) and how the feastivals are taken in their context in the bible. With in our torah reading we read about new births of Isaac and Samuel, about the Feast of Trumpets in Numbers, and finally about the dead rising to met Jesus in Thessalonians. This coming Tuesday my wife and I are going to a Messianic community with some friends. I’m pumped about it.
