A question for the Jewish?

Question

What is your next holy festival? When is it? How do you celebrate it?

Thanks all

Answer 1

Next holiday is Hanukah. We have a menora with places for eight candles and a 9th candle which is higher. SAtarting with the 1st night we light one candle inserting it to the extreme right with the higher placed candle. We do this each night one more until all 8 are lit with the higher candle called the shamash {helper} We say Blessed are you O lord our God who has commanded us to kindle the lights of Hanukah. AMEN c This is done because after we threw the Greeks out and reconcecrated our Holt Temple there was thought to be only enough oil for 1 day for the Everlasting light which is supposed to continually burn, but there was enough oil for the light to burn until oil was brought in which was 8 days. It starts on December 23rd Weo eat food fried in oil like pancakes doughnuts (not too healthy] Hope I have helped, Shalom

Answer 2

Hanuka, we celebrate it for 8 days, in memory of the Maccabees rebels reconquering the temple in Jerusalem from the Syrian Greek empire, about 2200 years ago
We celebrate it by lighting special candles, starting with 1+1 and adding a candle every day, up to 8+1 candles, to remind us of a miracle that happened in the holy temple.
we also eat special holiday foods and our children play with special holiday toys.
all this will take place starting Dec 16.

Answer 3

I am not Jewish (no "J" in the Hebrew alphabet).

The next feast comes on the seventh day as written.

Exodus 31:13-17--
13 Speak also to the children of Israyl, saying; SURELY MY SABBATHS YOU SHALL KEEP, FOR IT IS A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND YOU THROUGHOUT YOUR GENERATIONS, that you may know that I am Yahweh Who sanctifies you, and makes you holy.
14 You shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on that day, that person shall be cut off from among his people.
15 For six days work shall be done, but THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF REST, HOLY TO YAHWEH. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath Day, he shall surely be put to death.
16 Therefore the children of Israyl shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as A PERPETUAL COVENANT.
17 IT IS A SIGN between Me and the children of Israyl FOREVER, for in six days Yahweh made the heavens and the earth, and on the Seventh Day He rested and was refreshed.

Ezekiel 20:12-13,16,20--
12 Moreover also I gave them MY SABBATHS; to be a SIGN between me and them, that they might know that I am Yahweh that sanctify them.
13 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; and MY SABBATHS they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
16 Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my SABBATHS: for their heart went after their idols.
20 And HALLOW MY SABBATHS; and they shall be a SIGN between me and you, that ye may know that I am Yahweh.

I Corinthians 5:8--
Therefore, LET US KEEP THE FEAST, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Leviticus 23:2,4,44--
2 Speak to the children of Israyl, and say to them; Concerning THE FEASTS OF YAHWEH, which you shall proclaim to be HOLY CONVOCATIONS; these are My Feasts:
4 THESE ARE THE FEASTS OF YAHWEH, HIS HOLY CONVOCATIONS, which you shall proclaim in their seasons:
44 So Mosheh declared to the children of Israyl the Feasts of
Yahweh.

YAHWEH’S FEASTS ARE YAHWEH’S SHADOW from the things that are coming. It is vitally important that you Keep Yahweh’s Feasts exactly according to Yahweh’s Ordinances! Not only does Keeping Yahweh’s Feasts assure you of His Protection from the horrors that will soon strike all mankind, they also assure that you will receive Eternal Life, if you Practice Obeying Every Word That Proceeds From Yahweh’s Mouth! Remember, it is not the hearers of Yahweh’s Laws who shall be justified, it is the doers of Yahweh’s Laws who will be accounted worthy, as you may read for yourself in:

Romans 2:13--
For not the hearers of the Law are just before Yahweh, but THE DOERS OF THE LAW WILL BE JUSTIFIED.

Revelation 22:14--
BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO DO HIS COMMANDMENTS (613 Laws), THAT THEY MAY HAVE RIGHT TO THE TREE OF LIFE, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
