The Fall Festivals 5786

In today’s reflection, we are reminded that the Fall Festivals reveal the heart of G-d’s plan for His people.
At Rosh HaShanah, the sounding of the shofar calls us to remember that the L-rd sees us and provides what is lacking, just as He did for Abraham on Mount Moriyah. On Yom Kippur, we recall that atonement only covers sin, but true redemption—fulfilled in Messiah—removes it forever. During Sukkot, we rejoice in G-d’s faithfulness in the wilderness and are called to trust Him in all circumstances. Finally, Sh’mini Atzeret points us to maturity, joy, and eternal life, for it is only in Yeshua that we find the fullness of G-d’s will. These appointed times remind us that the L-rd watches over His people, provides victory, and invites us into His everlasting Kingdom with great joy.
