JUBILATION!
OCTOBER 2016 Ask your Jewish friends about their recently observed holy days: Rosh Hashanah (Feast of Trumpets), Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), Sukkot* (Feast of Tabernacles). Ask them how they honored these three feasts in the seventh month on their religious calendar. Show them that you are interested in them. And, aren’t we? As I write, my Jewish friends are celebrating the joyous holiday of Sukkot, which is the Feast of Tabernacles (Lev. 23:33-43). The festivities began this year, 2016, at sundown on Oct. 16 th and will continue until sundown on Oct. 23 rd . Sukkot occurs five days following Yom Kippur. Sukkot is the final ingathering of the harvest. What a joyous gala…and one that is hugely significant, Biblically speaking! The eternal message: once again, God Who dwells with us, has provided! Do your Jewish friends know this truth? I love to talk about Sukkot with Jewish people. Of course I do…it’s Biblical! God instructed the children of Israel
