Shabbat shalom, Nazarenes.

1. PRAISE REPORTS, PRAYER REQUESTS, UPDATES: 19 JAN 2024.

1a.  Prayer for barley search teams:
Please keep Becca Biderman and the other barley search teams in the land of Israel in prayer for safety as they search for barley this season. May Yahweh please protect those who are serving to declare His new year and feasts faithfully according to His FirstFruits. In Yeshua HaMashiach, amein.

2. STUDIES.
2a. Parasha Ki Tavo: Are we giving Yahweh our absolute best?
In Parasha Ki Tavo we ask the question, are we giving Yahweh our absolute best? Our general scope for this week’s study revolves around the attitude of our heart when we give. And we will determine that answer for ourselves as we will analyze and study things like the three-tithe system and whether or not it is lawful to pay taxes to Caesar. Please join us as we study Yahweh’s word.

3. SABBATHS, NEW MOONS, AND CALENDAR EVENTS:
3a. New Moon of the 13th or 1st Hebrew month:
The first Barley heads were seen in the land of Israel on 11 January 2024 by Becca Biderman. In her FirstBarley2024 video, Becca explains that these barley heads have just exited; the barley has not had much sunlight, has not begun to bloom yet, and is in a very early stage. 

The next new moon is expected to be seen on 11 February 2024. Whether this new moon will mark the beginning of the new Hebrew year (Rosh HaShannah) or a 13th Hebrew month depends on the barley and Yahweh’s timing. (We must wait upon Yahweh to see when He declares His new year and feasts.)

Significant Torah Calendar news updates will be shared in the monthly newmoon newsletter. Also, you can find the most current Torah Calendar News 2024 here any day of the week. For specific studies explaining the FirstFruits Calendar and the timing of Yahweh’s feasts according to Scripture.

3b. 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.

12 February (expected)- New Moon meeting of 13th Hebrew month OR Rosh HaShannah.
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.

3c. Torah Calender News Updates.
Please remain attentive for the next Hebrew year’s feast schedule, early 2024, once Rosh HaShanah is declared. For more on how the Biblical Hebrew new year is determined (and how it is not determined), please watch Establishing the Head of the Year.
