Happy 2022! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Biblical new year is coming up soon and I wanted to get you guys this free printable for the Hebrew and High Holidays 2022<\/a><\/strong>, so hopefully, you will feel a little bit more prepared for the feast days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Picking out a calendar and knowing when the feast days are coming can be stressful and overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After researching and praying about it, we decided to stray away from solely using the Traditional Jewish calendar because the fixed calendar dates don\u2019t always line up the spotting of the new moon by the naked eye. Oftentimes we spot the new moon after it has been declared by this calendar. God gave us the sun, moon, and stars so that we will know the times and seasons. By knowing when the new moon actually occurs we can better know when to celebrate the feast days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Genesis 1:14<\/strong>: \u201cAnd God said, let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, to divide between day and night and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and for years. \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n A few of the tools we use to spot the new moon are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The dates I have listed in the printable <\/a><\/strong>are predicted based on the sighting of the new moon. The feast dates are also only listed for the duration specified in the Bible. I know it is tradition to celebrate the feast days for longer or shorter depending on if you are in Israel or not. The Bible doesn\u2019t say this, and therefore the dates do not reflect this tradition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By relying on the sighting of the new moon, we will be celebrating the feast days on different days than the traditional calendar, but I believe these are Biblically the correct days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is a quick overview of all the Hebrew and High Holidays. If you are looking for a more in-depth study of these days check out this post – Introduction The Spring Feast Days<\/a><\/strong> and Introduction to The Fall Holidays<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Purim or the Feast of Lots is found in the book of Esther. This holiday celebrates God saving our people from annihilation by Haman through a decree of King Artaxerxes following the Babylonian Captivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is not a High Holiday commanded by God, but one that we celebrate to commemorate this victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The true New Year\u2019s Day. God told Moses that this was the beginning of the year. It is great to note this day because we will base the rest of our calculations for the feast days from this day, especially Passover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The celebration that we were passed over by the spirit of death in Egypt. We eat lamb, bitter herbs, and unleavened bread on this day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Feast of Unleavened Bread is when we left Egypt! We remove all leavening from our homes during this 7-day holiday, and eat unleavened bread. The first and last days are Sabbath rest days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On this day the first fruits of the barley harvest were given to the priest and were presented before the Lord as a wave offering. This holiday always occurs on the secular Easter, and it is a day to be thankful for the provision that Elohim has given us. Today we start counting daily to Shavuot, 7 Sabbaths + 1 day away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Second Passover is a helpful holiday for those who weren\u2019t able to keep Passover in the month of the Nisan. If you were unclean or away traveling during Passover and therefore couldn\u2019t keep it, you have a do-over day in the second month – Iyar 14. You only keep the Passover meal, not the feast of Unleavened Bread.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shavuot, the day we have been waiting for! I believe our daily counting (Counting the omer) until Shavuot is reminiscent of when God prepared the people to receive the Law on Mount Sinai. It is an exciting time and I am always a little sad when everything is over. This is a sabbath-rest day.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow We Pick Out A Calendar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
