"These are the set feasts of Yahweh, even kodesh convocations, which you shall proclaim in their appointed season." Leviticus 23:4 · KWB
The Appointed Times Belong to Yahweh
Not Jewish holidays. His own feasts.
Read the opening of Leviticus 23 carefully. Yahweh does not say "these are the Jewish holidays." He says "the set feasts of Yahweh" — in Hebrew, mo'adei Yahweh, "the appointed times of Yahweh." They belong to Him. He named them, He dated them, He commanded the observance. Israel was entrusted with keeping them, but the feasts are the Father's, not the nation's. This matters because the institutional church taught for seventeen centuries that the feasts were "Jewish" and therefore optional or obsolete. They are neither. They are His, and they still stand.
Sha'ul said exactly this: every moed is "a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Messiah's" (Colossians 2:17). The feast is the shadow. Yeshua is the substance. You do not keep a shadow by ignoring it — you keep it because it points to Him, and every time you walk through the moed, you walk through another facet of the Messiah He reveals in it.
The Seven Moedim of Leviticus 23
Plus Weekly and Monthly
Shabbat every seven days. Rosh Chodesh every new moon.
Shabbat is the first moed listed in Leviticus 23 (verse 3), before any of the seven annual feasts — weekly, from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown, unmoved since the sixth evening of creation. See Shabbat for the full teaching.
Rosh Chodesh — the new moon that begins each Hebrew month — was marked with its own offering in Torah (Numbers 28:11–15). Yahweh's calendar is luni-solar because He said so in Genesis 1:14: "Let there be lights in the expanse of sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years." The Hebrew word for "seasons" there is moadim — His appointed times. The moon is the clock He hung in the sky on day four to keep them by.
"You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition." Mattityahu 15:6 · KWB
Not Here: Hanukkah, Purim, Tisha B'Av, Modern Holidays
Only what Yahweh commanded.
This site keeps only the moedim the Father Himself named. Hanukkah, Purim, Tisha B'Av, and the modern state holidays of the twentieth century are human institutions — some of them commemorating real events, some of them good, but not commanded by Yahweh in His Torah. Yeshua warned the pattern: "You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition" (Mattityahu 15:6). What He asked for is enough. The site does not add to His list, and it does not subtract from it either.
By the same measure, Christmas (December 25, adopted from Sol Invictus) and Easter (untethered from Yahweh's calendar and named after a Germanic dawn goddess) are not observed here. They are the institutional church's replacements for moedim the Father already gave. Yeshua was likely born at Sukkot. He rose on Firstfruits. Those are the dates He kept. Those are the dates we keep.
