The Feast of Sukkot is the last of the three “pilgrim” feasts that require the men of Israel to go up to Jerusalem and to appear before YHWH. “Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year . . . the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labors out of the field. Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before YHWH ELOHIM.” Click here to read the entire article.
Messiah and Sacrifice - Yom Kippur
One of the greatest stumbling blocks for Christian brethren, when it comes to keeping the Torah, is the issue of the Altar service of the Temple with all of its sacrifices, as it relates to the sacrifice of Messiah Yeshua.

One of the most precious memories from my childhood is that of the occasional family slideshow. Every now and then on a quiet winter night, when the sky grew dark, my father would dig to the back of the cramped coat closet like a pirate digging for buried treasure. After several minutes of muffled complaint, out he would come with the old slide projector, retractable screen, a little TV dinner tray, and some boxes of old slides. Instantly our living room would be transformed into a miniature theater. Emerging from the kitchen were the smell of popcorn and the sound of exploding kernels ricocheting off of the aluminum sides of the electric popcorn popper. Soon, the lights would be turned off, the Hi-Fi turned down, and - with the flip of a switch - we would all be staring in anticipation at the bright light reflecting off of the white blank screen. For hours we would all marvel at my father’s slides from Japan, where he spent two years of his life in the Army before my brother and I were born. We would view family pictures of times, events, pets, and loved ones long lost to memory. We would relive family vacations, graduations, birthdays, holiday gatherings, and an occasional spectacular sunset, snowfall, or some other creative act of God captured on film. In between episodes, my brother and I would jump to place our contorted hands before the intense beam of light being cast upon the empty screen: each twist and turn of our fingers casting shadow pictures of dogs, rabbits, camels, birds, butterflies, monsters, funny faces, and anything else our over-active imaginations could conceive.

Torah and Our Diet
By Rood Crew Commentator, Glenn McWilliams
There is great debate concerning what the Torah teaches about the Believer’s diet. With careful study I believe that we can unravel some of the mystery and settle much of the controversy concerning this vital issue. The first diet mentioned in the Torah is found as part of the creation narrative. Realize that what is recorded in these opening verses of the book of Genesis concern not only the Believer, but all of mankind. Just as the Sabbath was instituted at creation and therefore applies to all of creation, so too does this teaching about man’s diet. Genesis 1:29-30 teaches that the first diet was a vegetarian diet. “And God said, Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat.” (Genesis 1:29-20).
For clarity, please understand that the word “meat” in the King James Version of the Bible is an English translation of the Hebrew word “oklah” (Aleph, Kof, Lamed, Hey) which simply means food . . . Read Full Article in PDF
