Leviticus 23:23
God said to Moses: "Tell the People of Israel, On the first day of the seventh month, set aside a day of rest, a sacred assembly—mark it with loud blasts on the ram's horn. Don't do any ordinary work. Offer a Fire-Gift to God."

Tzadiq- not really. Sit back and enjoy. But what about your fire gift. Insurance rates to high.

Unless I totally missed the point of your question, you are asking why people insist the Bible is supposed to be followed literally when it is obvious that many of the practices preached in it are no longer followed. For example, there is no way I am going to marry my brother in law if my husband dies, so he better keep his seed far away from me. As for what to follow in your Bible, it's up to you. Personally, I think all you need to remember is The Ten Commandments (especially thou shalt not murder- that's a biggie), Judge not, lest ye be judged - Matthew 7:1, and Love thy neighbor as thyself' (Matthew 5: 43). And maybe the story about Noah's Ark (cuz I like all the cute animals). As Tony Hendra wrote in The Messiah of Morris Avenue "If it makes you have contempt for others, for an enemy, for the poor, for the rich, for the helpless, for the different. It's not God you're worshiping, it's your own pathetic projection of omnipotence. But God is the enemy, the poor, the rich, the helpless, and the different. God is the other. All evil begins with this belief, that another's existence is less precious than mine". Let the thumbs down begin!!!
Hope this helps,

Sorry, you're incorrect; Saturnalia became into celebrated December 17. additionally, the solstice is two-3 days in the previous the twenty 5th, so lower back, it truly isn't any longer a similar holiday. The twenty 5th of December became into arrived at by using using an previous Jewish regulation that mandated that newborn adult males be circumcised on the 8th day, inclusive of delivery. because Jesus under no circumstances stated whilst His birthday became into, the Church gave him what's called a attractiveness-day (circumcision day the place the call is proclaimed) as January 1st, and counting backwards, the 8 day is the twenty 5th of December. Sorry to interrupt your dream of paganizing Christianity. by using the way, I even have been frequently used to sing Christmas Carols in July. Does that count quantity for celebrating the holiday then?

Are you really this incredibly ignorant?
Seventh month on a lunar calendar which starts on the first new moon after the barley in Israel become Abib.
It's always in September but the day is not set as its based on a lunar not solar calendar.
We have a service and there is blowing of trumpets Its called the day of shouting or day of blowing. It is an annual sabbath and we don't work.

Keep in mind that is from Leviticus. Your question should read,
How to "true" Jews celebrate July 1st...
Even though that would also be wrong since calenders are different...
Old testament is the story of the JEWS not the Christians..
If you want to ask questions please make sure you know what religion you are going to ask it to.

Shawn,
We Christians are not obligated to that old Jewish system.
But just so you'll know the seventh month on their old calendar is TISHRI (ETHANIM) which ran through September and October, depending on were the new moon falls.

Probably derived from the Pagan celebration of the summer solstice,which is marked by bonfires and celebrations of the height of the growing season.

You are confusing our modern calendar with the Hebrew calendar. This isn't the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar.

July 1 is not a holy day. Gregorian calendar is not the same.
