2. STUDIES.
a. Parasha Lech Lecha: The Call of Abram!
In Parasha Lech Lecha 2024, Elder Ulices explores the story behind the call of Abram, who later had his name changed to Abraham. We will see how Abram’s call marked the beginning of Yahweh’s plan to re-establish His original intention in the garden, which was to have a family that loved and worshipped Him in spirit and truth across the globe.

3. SABBATHS, NEW MOONS, AND CALENDAR EVENTS:
a. Rosh HaShanah 5784/2024
As of 8-10 March 2024, we have a confirmed report from Israel that an omer’s amount of aviv barley will be ready for Yom HaNafat HaOmer on 31 March 2024. Therefore, 11 March 2024 was the confirmed declaration of Rosh HaShanah (the beginning of the Hebrew year). For more details and links to reports from Israel, please visit Torah Calendar News 2024. (More information in 3c.)
Rosh HaShanah sameach!
The new moon of the second Hebrew month is expected to be seen on 9 April 2024.
b. 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.
1 April 2024- Chag HaMatzot Sheva
10 April 2024 (Expected New Moon day)
19 May 2024- Shavuot
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.
c. Torah Calender News Updates.
Below is the updated feast schedule for 5784-5 / 2024. Rosh HaShanah and the first month feast dates are confirmed. Seventh month feast dates are “expected dates“. These dates may change by a day or two, depending on when the new moon day of the 7th month (September 2024) is confirmed.
d. 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.
To know more about why you and your family should be keeping the FirstFruits Torah Calendar, please view the studies below.
