And just as a brief note, some ministries are declaring that you must be able to substantially “bring in the harvest” before you can declare the month of the Aviv. To see why this is completely wrong (and is damaging to the farmers), please check out our study, “Let’s Not Break Deuteronomy 16:9!”
Feast schedule 5785-6 / 2025
The next feast schedule for year 5785-6 / 2025 will be posted after the new moon confirmation (expected on 30 March 2025).
How to correctly declare Rosh HaShanah
To declare the biblically correct Rosh HaShanah, Nazarene Israel must be certain that an omer quantity of the firstfruits of barley (in Israel) will be ready (in its aviv stage) within the 15-21 day time frame after the new moon sighting (in time for Yom HaNafat HaOmer, or the Day of the Wave Sheaf Offering). In simple terms, to declare Rosh HaShanah, we need to have an omer’s worth of aviv barley firstfruits ready to offer for Yom HaNafat HaOmer.
Other calendars claim to be biblical calendars, but get the timing wrong every year, which leads many to celebrating the feasts at the wrong times. This is because other calendars use non-biblical concepts not found in the written Torah when declaring the new year.
As we explain in our studies, declaring Rosh HaShanah too late (as the Karaites usually do) would cause Yahweh’s firstfruits to be lost. In contrast, when we declare Rosh HaShanah at the time when the firstfruits of aviv barley will be ready for Yom HaNafat HaOmer, 15-21 days after the new moon, everything aligns perfectly!

Keeping the correct calendar is important in order to meet with Yahweh on the days that He appointed to meet with us. We have many studies explaining how to keep the calendar according to the written Torah commandments, and why it is important. For more on how the Biblical Hebrew new year is determined (and how it is not determined), and how you and your family can keep the true biblical calendar (the Torah Calendar), please see the studies in the table below.
