The 7th Hebrew month began on the evening of 4 September 2024. The evening of 25 September through the afternoon of 26 September is Shemini Atzeret (the 8th Day Assembly). Please see section 2 (below) for more details.
Vayiqra (Leviticus) 23:36
36 For seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh. On the eighth day you shall have a set-apart convocation, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh. It is a sacred assembly, and you shall do no customary work on it.”
b. Shemini Atzeret live broadcast: 26 Sept, 11 AM UTC-5
We hope you will join us on 26 September 2024, at 11 AM UTC-5, for our live broadcast for Shemini Atzeret (the 8th Day Assembly).
Shemini Atzeret 5784 (2024) gives an overview of how The Eighth Day foreshadows prophecy and end-time events, how these prophecies correspond with a 7-day week, the Shabbat, and the eighth day, and the parallels to Yeshua’s brith and the eighth day circumcision. It also answers Torah Calendar questions.
The comment section will be open for fellowship amoung our viewers. While we will not be able to responde to every comment, we hope to address comments most pertinent to the discussion. Please remember to keep comments respectful, friendly, and in relation to the study topic. Comments that violate NI and community standards will be handled appropriately.

2. SABBATHS, NEW MOONS, AND CALENDAR EVENTS:
a. 7th month feasts:
The new moon of the 7th Hebrew month was seen from Israel on the evening of 4 September 2024. Shemini Atzeret is the last of Yahweh’s seventh month feasts. If you are new to the Torah Calendar and were unable to keep Yahweh’s feasts this year, we hope you will be able to join next year. In the meantime, you can find information about the Torah Calendar and important calendar updates any time via Torah Calendar News 2024.
For specific information on how to keep Yahweh’s feasts and the significance of each feast, please see the studies below.
Note: 11 March 2024 was Rosh HaShanah (the beginning of the Hebrew year). For more details, please visit Torah Calendar News 2024.
b. Upcoming feasts (high days):
Shemini Atzeret (8th Day Assembly):
25 September (evening) – 26 September (afternoon)
Live broadcast- 26 September, 11 AM UTC-5
c. Upcoming Discipleship Meetings:
All meetings are at 8 AM Colombian time (always UTC-5, but watch your Daylight Savings Time adjustments). The Discipleship Meeting is a discussion between disciples. It is generally 1-hour long but may run longer depending on how the Spirit leads. For more on NI’s description of discipleship, please see NI’s Discipleship program.
26 September 2024- Shemini Atzeret discipleship meeting
5 October 2024- new moon discipleship meeting (expected)
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.
