19 September 2024- Chag HaSukkot Aleph discipleship meeting
26 September 2024- Shemini Atzeret discipleship meeting
Note: If the monthly Discipleship Meeting coincides with the weekly Shabbat Meeting, the Shabbat Meeting will take precedence, and new moon discussion will be combined with the Shabbat meeting. However, in the case of a Feast Day Meeting coinciding with a Shabbat meeting, the Feast Day Meeting will take precedence.
d. 8th Hebrew month:
The new moon of the 8th Hebrew month is expected to be seen from Israel on the evening of 4 October 2024. Confirmation will be made upon witnesses from Israel (or at the end of the 30th day of the month if the moon is not seen).
For understanding why Nazarene Israel does not observe 8th month feasts, please see “Feasts of the 8th Month“.
For understanding why Nazarene Israel does not observe the Jewish Rosh HaShanah (October 2024), please continue to section 3e (below).
e. Why the FirstFruits Torah Calendar?
Every year we receive questions about the Firstfruits Torah calendar and why it differs from Karaite, Jewish, and Messianic, and Equinox calendars. The different calendars that exist can (and do) cause a lot of confusion. But if we follow Scripture without adding or taking away from Yahweh’s word, we see that there are significant errors in the Karaite, Jewish, Messianic, and Equinox calendars.
We explain these errors in the following studies, as well as why it is important to follow the true Firstfruits Torah calendar in order to observe Yahweh’s feasts at His appointed times only.
