Feasts & Holy Days

The Feasts and Holy Days, known as Chagim and Moedim, hold profound significance for believers, who are instructed in Scripture to gather together on these appointed times. Presented here is a comprehensive list of these observances along with their respective dates for reference. Note that each day begins at sunset and continues until the following sunset, so the appointed day actually begins the evening prior to the date listed. Passover is specifically the meal eaten on the evening listed. We have also included the traditional memorials of Purim and Chanukah in a separate table below. If you have any questions, please feel free to email or call for more details.
