Introduction
The feasts and holidays are part of the larger mosaic of Jewish time that expresses
the corporate life cycle of Jews all of the world.
Introduction to the Jewish Calendar (start here)
A brief overview of the Seven Annual Feasts given to Israel
The Holidays: Weekly, Monthly, Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Fast Days
In the example above, Yom HaShoah is observed both on Thursday the 5th (after
sundown) and Friday the 6th (during daylight hours).
Note that if a Jewish holiday were to occur on a Sabbath, it would be moved to the
previous Thursday on the calendar. For example, if Nisan 27 happened to begin on Friday

last nine days of this three week period (i.e., from Av 1 until Av 9th) are
days of increased mourning. After this somber time, however, the romantic
holiday of Tu B'Av, the 15th of Av occurs. Originally a post-biblical day of
joy, the 15th of Av served as a matchmaking day for unmarried women in
the Second Temple period.
The summer ends with the 30 days of the month of Elul, a yearly season of teshuvah
(repentance) that anticipates Rosh Hashanah and the fall holidays. The days of Elul are
combined with the first ten days of the month of Tishri to create the Forty Days of Teshuvah
that culminate with the holy day of Yom Kippur.
The summer holidays help us prepare for the second coming of the Messiah:
Fast of the 17th of Tammuz - Start of the three weeks of sorrow [Tammuz 17]
Tish'ah B'Av (Summer) Last day of the three weeks of sorrow [Av 9]
Tu B'Av - Harvest and Romance [Av 15]
Elul and Selichot - Preparing for teshuvah and the fall holidays

The fall festivals prophetically reveal the rapture of the kellat Mashiach (Bride of Messiah),
the second coming of the Savior, the national conversion and atonement of Israel, God's
original-covenant people, and - especially regarding Sukkot - the final restoration of the
earth in the olam habah (world to come):
Elul and Selichot - preparing for teshuvah
Yamim Nora'im (Days of Awe):
i. Rosh Hashanah and Trumpets (Yom Teru'ah) [Tishri 1] - The rapture of the
kellat Mashiach (i.e., the church or Bride of Christ).
ii. Tzom Gedaliah (Fall) [Tishri 3]
iii. Day of Atonment (Yom Kippur) - [Tishri 10] Israel's national salvation
3. Tabernacles (Sukkot) - [Tishri 15-21] A picture of the millennial kingdom
a. Hoshana Rabbah - [Tishri 21] The seventh day of Sukkot
b. Shemini Atzeret - [Tishri 22] The 8th day of assembly following Sukkot
c. Simchat Torah - [Tishri 23] Celebration of the giving of the Torah
