In this teaching from "God Honest Truth," we delve into the biblical significance of Yom Teruah. This solemn day, commanded by Yahweh in Vayiqra (Leviticus) 23, is one of the seven appointed times (Mo'edim) and is marked by the sounding of the shofar.
Drawing upon both the Tanakh and the Apostolic Writings, this video explores the prophetic and spiritual meaning behind this day of blowing trumpets. Far more than just another Holy Day, Yom Teruah is a moed (appointed time) established by Yahweh in Leviticus 23. This study aims to provide clarity, context, and a deeper appreciation of this sacred appointment, bridging its ancient observance with its Messianic fulfillment.
If you desire to grow in understanding of Yahweh’s appointed times and how they illuminate the life and ministry of Yahushua (Jesus), this teaching will serve as a valuable resource. Whether you are new to the biblical feasts or seeking deeper theological insight, this video offers a balanced and scholarly perspective. So join us as we learn the God Honest Truth about Yom Teruah, otherwise known as Rosh Hoshannah.

00:00In this video, we're going to conduct a focused examination on one of Yahweh's appointed times.
00:08Yom Teruah, sometimes anachronistically referred to as Rosh Hashanah.
00:13In scripture, Yom Teruah is not described as a New Year's celebration, but as a day of blasting, a day marked by the sound of a shofar.
00:23Together, we'll explore and see what the Bible actually says about this particular Moedim or feast day.
00:29So join us for this exegetical study, open your scriptures, and let's uncover the God honest truth about Yom Teruah.
00:38So this teaching or drash is going to be all about the Moedim or feast day of Yom Teruah, otherwise known as Rosh Hashanah.
01:05So make sure to have your notes ready.
01:08And if you want more notes than what we can go through here and more notes than what we've got included here, you can get that through our website at God honest truth dot com.
01:16Click on the post or this particular episode.
01:19And there in the article post, you'll be able to see the on demand video that you see here on your screen.
01:24You'll be able to see the draw slides that are up here on the screen and be able to go through them at your own pace.
01:30In addition to that, we also have the notes that we took for this particular episode that you can get even more information about this particular subject than we included in this teaching.
01:41And there's also going to be the transcript once that becomes available, if that is something of benefit to you.
01:47And you can find all that in the article post right there on our website at God honest truth dot com.
01:53Now, if you would like an easier way to get there, you can go down below in the description and we've placed a convenient link down there.
02:00Simply click on that link and it'll take you directly to the article post.
02:03And that link should be down there regardless of whether you're watching on a video platform or whether you're listening to an audio podcasting platform.
02:12That link should be down there in the description. All the same.
02:17Like I said, this teaching is going to be all about the beast or the Moedim of Yom Teruwa.
02:23We start out by looking at the very foundation of our belief in our doctrine, which is scripture.
02:29And we look in numbers, chapter 29, verse one.
02:33And in the seventh new moon on the first day of the new moon, you have a set apart gathering.
02:39You do no servile work. It is Yom Teruwa.
02:44Now, this word, this phrase Yom Teruwa is two different Hebrew words, Yom and Teruwa.
02:52Obviously, Yom means, well, pretty much what you think it means as in every other instance of Yom, it means day.
02:59And this could have multiple meanings depending on what it is, but usually means somewhere about the same thing.
03:06It can mean day as in daylight as opposed to dark or night.
03:11It can mean day as in a 24 hour period from sunset to sunset as it were or as it's defined and laid out in Genesis.
03:20The second word, Teruwa, if you look on your screen here, you can see it has multiple meanings as well, but usually means something like a loud clamor, a loud shout or a loud sound such as that from a shofar or a trumpet, which is why this day or this Moedim is generally translated as the day of trumpets.
03:42Teruwa can mean alarm or signal, alarm of war, war cry or battle cry.
03:47And that's used a lot of times in scripture to move the camp for a battle cry, et cetera, et cetera.
03:52Think of the walls of Jericho, for instance.
03:55You got a blast for marching, usually in military, a shout of joy.
04:00Keep that in mind, too, because the prophetic meaning of Yom Teruwa could play into that whole shout of joy and the whole alarm thing as well.
04:10But more on that coming up later.
04:12For those of you who are nerdy like I am, here is your lexicon and dictionary entries for these particular words.
04:19We're going to start out with the first one, and that is Yom, and that is going to be Strong's H3117 for Yom.
04:27Here is your outline of biblical usage from blueletterbible.com, and it's usually used according to them as day, time, year, et cetera.
04:38And blueletterbible.com is one of those more traditional kind of sites, so they tend to lean more towards the King James.
04:45So anytime you see things like outline of biblical usage or anything from blueletterbible.org, it probably comes from the King James translation.
04:54Next, we look at our Strong's definition and our Brown Driver Briggs entry for the Hebrew word Yom.
05:01And here in Strong's, you've got it defined as a day from sunrise to sunset, from one sunset to the next, a space of time defined by an associated term.
05:09And there's your Brown Driver Briggs entry.
05:12And, of course, there's various nuances that get into this when you use it in a phrase and various different things.
05:18So, like I said, if you want more information, go check out our notes that we've got.
05:22And here's the Jacinus' Hebrew lexicon entry for the word Yom.
05:27And pretty much defined it as the same thing.
05:30But, like I said, if you're a nerd like I am, you'd love this kind of stuff.
05:34Anyways, these entries that we're putting up for the lexicons and the dictionaries, we had to cut them down greatly and immensely to get them to fit on these particular slides.
05:46So, if you like the full entry, you're more than welcome to look them up yourselves.
05:50Everything we put up here is freely available to find on the internet.
05:53And we've also provided the entries, copy and paste, in the notes file.
05:59So, once again, go check out the notes file if you'd like to see the entire entry, say, for instance, from Jacinus' Hebrew lexicon.
06:06And finally, here is your Jastral's Dictionary of the Targums, Klein Dictionary entry,
06:12and Hebrew Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament entry for the Hebrew word Yom.
06:19Finally, this has got to define, much like the other ones, as light, as day, meaning opposed to night, or day, as in 24-hour period, sunset to sunset, as it were, etc., etc.
06:32And now, here is the Hebrew word Teruah from Strong's H-8-6-4-3.
06:39And again, that's Strong's H-8-6-4-3, Teruah.
06:44And here's your outline of biblical usage from blueletterbible.org, meaning alarm, signal, sound of tempest, shout, shout, or a blast of war, or alarm of joy.
06:55And here's your Strong's entry, and they've got it defined as clamor, acclamation of joy, battle cry, clangor of trumpets, alarm, loud noise, shouting, etc., etc.
07:07And here's your Brown Driver Briggs and Jacinus' Hebrew lexicon entry for Teruah.
07:14And here is your Jastrell's Dictionary of the Targums and Klein Dictionary entry for Teruah.
07:21And finally, last but not least, here is your Hebrew and Aramaic lexicon of the Old Testament entry for Teruah.
07:30Teruah.
07:31Now, surprisingly, like I said, I cut it down a lot just to get it to fit on the slides, but the Hebrew and Aramaic lexicon of the Old Testament, or Halot, it's very, very, hmm, how should I say this, cluttered with a lot of stuff that you'd have to be, like, super nerdy to get all that.
07:49So this is actually an improvement from what you see in the actual Halot.
07:53So you're welcome for that.
07:55But if you'd like to see the actual entry, like I said, you can go look it up yourselves or go look in our notes, and it's going to read not nearly as easy as you see it here on your screen.
08:05But anyways, let's go ahead and move right into the meat of the matter, and that is from our scriptures itself.
08:12We look at the very first instance we find of the command for Yom Teruah, and that comes from Leviticus chapter 23, verses 23 through 25.
08:21And Yahweh spoke to Moshe, saying, Speak to the children of Yisrael, saying, In the seventh new moon, on the first day of the new moon, you have a rest, a remembrance of Teruah.
08:34You do no servile work, and you shall bring an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
08:40So here, this is the very first instance we have of Yom Teruah being commanded in scripture by Yahweh himself.
08:48This is one of the seven feast days throughout the year that's commanded in the Torah, and it's one of the all feast days, which we're now starting to get into.
09:00And we go on to look at Numbers chapter 10, verse 10, and this is talking about using horns, trumpets, shofars, et cetera, et cetera, for various things.
09:09And you can see that when you read throughout scripture, you can see these horns used for different things.
09:14But here is this one example in Numbers 10, verse 10.
09:19And in the day of your gladness and in your appointed times and at the beginning of your new moons, you shall blow the trumpets over your ascending offerings and over your slaughterings of peace offerings.
09:29And they shall be a remembrance for you before your Elohim.
09:33I am Yahweh, your Elohim.
09:36So here is telling you to blow the trumpets or make teruah at various times throughout the year.
09:43You can see at the day of your gladness, if you're happy, joyful, make a joyful shout, make a joyful sound with the trumpet or shofar in your appointed times.
09:53And the Moedim, and this is things like Passover, first fruits, Shavuot, Yom Teruah, Yom Kippurim, Sukkot, et cetera, et cetera.
10:03And also another appointed time is going to be the new moons or the beginning of the month.
10:11And this happens 12 different times, according to the scriptures.
10:15There's 12 months in the biblical calendar.
10:18At the beginning of your new moons, like I said, the beginning of the months, and you shall blow the trumpets over your ascending offerings as well.
10:26So these trumpets, these horns, these shofars, they were used for various different things, not just Yom Teruah.
10:33So trumpets play, I don't want to say if it's an important part, but definitely a distinct part all throughout scripture, all the way up, even into the book of Revelation,
10:43which we'll probably get into a little bit later on in the end times.
10:47So from just about beginning to the very end, trumpets, shofars, et cetera, et cetera, play a distinct and visible part in our history.
10:58Moving on to Numbers chapter 29, verses 1 through 6.
11:03And here is the second commandment to celebrate Yom Teruah with a little more detail given about the day itself.
11:11Numbers chapter 29, verses 1 through 6.
11:14And in the seventh new moon, on the first day of the new moon, you have a set-apart gathering.
11:20You do no servile work.
11:22It is Yom Teruah, and you shall prepare an ascending offering as a sweet fragrance to Yahweh.
11:28One young bull, one ram, seven lambs a year old, perfect ones, and their grain offering.
11:33Fine flour mixed with oil, three-tenths of an ephah for the bull, two-tenths for the ram, and one-tenth for each of the seven lambs.
11:41And one male goat as a sin offering to make atonement for you, besides the ascending offering with its grain offering for the new moon.
11:49The continual ascending offering with its grain offering and their drink offerings, according to their right ruling, as a sweet fragrance made, an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
12:01So you've got a lot more added here than you saw back in Leviticus.
12:06So let's kind of break this down a little bit.
12:07It says here in the seventh new moon.
12:09So what is the seventh new moon?
12:12Well, the new moon begins the month according to Scripture.
12:16So the seventh new moon is the beginning of the seventh month, the first day of the seventh month.
12:24And here it says, the seventh new moon on the first day of the new moon.
12:28So first day of the seventh month.
12:30You have a set-apart gathering.
12:33Get together somehow and perform this.
12:36You do no servile work.
12:38Here's what is commonly referred to as a Shabbaton.
12:41Maybe you've never heard that.
12:43That's just kind of how I've always heard it.
12:44There's two different words for Shabbat that's used for various things that I've personally heard throughout the years.
12:52Shabbat is the regular weekly Shabbat day of rest.
12:55That's where you do no servile work and no work at all.
12:59No cleaning, no carrying wood, no going out to a job, etc., etc., right?
13:05But a Shabbaton, where you do no servile work, is pretty much the same as a regular weekly Shabbat.
13:15But on a Shabbaton, you're allowed to actually make and prepare food.
13:18No working a job or anything like that, no carrying big boulders or whatnot.
13:24But you can make food.
13:25And that's the one distinction between a Shabbaton and the regular weekly Shabbat.
13:30It goes on, it says, it is Yom Teruwa, the name for this particular Moedim.
13:36And once again, for those of you who may not be familiar, the word Moedim means appointed time.
13:44And you shall prepare an ascending offering.
13:47It goes through the various offerings that go through as well.
13:50So you get together on the first day of the seventh month.
13:53You do no servile work.
13:55You call it Yom Teruwa and you prepare these offerings.
13:58Now, these offerings are something that we currently cannot do because there is no temple standing.
14:03Now, if the temple gets rebuilt appropriately and get rid of that big zit on the temple mound that's currently there now,
14:13then these kinds of sacrifices will go back into play.
14:17And scripture even tells us that in the end days, the sacrifices will resume.
14:22So we're not there yet.
14:24We don't have no temple currently.
14:25So we cannot do these ascending offerings or the grain offerings or any other kind of offerings because there's no temple.
14:33There's no active priesthood serving at the temple either.
14:37But just so you know, that is part of one of the things it's commanded to do on Yom Teruwa, the Moedim of Yom Teruwa.
14:47Now, Yom Teruwa, like I've intimated before, is known by a couple of different names.
14:53Yom Teruwa is the name used in scripture.
14:56It's also called Rosh Hashanah by a lot of those within Judaism, actually, especially the Orthodox Jews.
15:05And Rosh Hashanah literally means head of the year.
15:09More about that coming up.
15:11It's also referred to as Yom Hazi Charon, and that means a day of remembrance.
15:17Remember, earlier when I was reading the scriptures, it said to have this day as a remembrance to Yahweh.
15:24Well, it's also called Yom Hazi Charon, as a day of remembrance.
15:29Another name it's also called is Yom Harat HaOlam, and that means birthday of the world.
15:37So we'll stop right here and examine that for just a little bit.
15:40This whole belief that Yom Teruwa is when creation actually happened is actually a tradition within Judaism.
15:50It's not something that comes from scripture itself.
15:54So can we prove from scripture that Yom Teruwa is the birthday of the world when creation actually started?
16:01No, we cannot prove that from scripture.
16:04However, we still cannot disprove it either.
16:07And this whole tradition of believing that Yom Teruwa is the birthday of the world, well, it's just that.
16:16It's a belief.
16:16It's a tradition.
16:17As far as I know, it doesn't come from any pagan sources.
16:20So it's in that gray area.
16:23If you want to believe it, you're okay to go for it.
16:26But if you don't, you're also okay.
16:28Because we can't prove it and we can't disprove it.
16:30And the only people I know of that believe that Yom Teruwa is the beginning or the birthday of the world is those within Judaism.
16:38Now, speaking of various names for things, especially Yom Teruwa, there are also misunderstandings and things that aren't understood about names of other things, especially the names of months.
16:51And this is where we kind of, how should I say this professionally anyways, there's a different way of saying things in Judaism.
17:02There's a different way of saying things here between those of us who are of a messianic mindset.
17:07And names of months are one of those things that comes down to and the tradition versus scripture kind of debate as well.
17:14But let's go ahead and talk a little bit about the names of months.
17:20Now, I used to believe and I used to think that scripture did not name months, but it actually does.
17:27And a viewer like you out there watching it actually brought this up in one of the comments in a YouTube video.
17:33And you know who you are.
17:34So thank you so, so much for that.
17:36I think it's like maybe two years ago.
17:38And corrected us.
17:40So we really do appreciate that.
17:42But scripture actually does give a name for four of the months throughout the year.
17:48And here, let's look at the name of the first month from scripture and what scripture calls the first month.
17:55Exodus chapter 23, verse 15.
18:00Guard the festival of Matzot.
18:01Seven days you eat unleavened bread as I commanded you at the time appointed in the new moon of Aviv.
18:08So here, scripture itself is referring to the first month, meaning the first new moon, as by the name of Aviv.
18:25Going on to 1st Kings chapter 6, verse 1.
18:28And it came to be in the 480th year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Mitzrayim, in the fourth year of the reign of Shalom over Israel, in the new moon of Ziv, which is the second new moon, that he began to build the house of Yahweh.
18:47So here, scripture is referring to the second month by the name of Ziv.
18:53So we got Aviv and Ziv, or Ziv.
18:581st Kings chapter 8, verse 2.
19:00And all the men of Yisrael assembled to Sovereign Shlomo at the festival in the month of Ethanim, which is the seventh new moon.
19:11Now, this really hits home, according to the teaching or the drafts that we're doing tonight on Yom Teruah.
19:18Yom Teruah is in the seventh month, the seventh new moon.
19:21And what is the seventh month referred to by in scripture?
19:26Ethanim.
19:27Ethanim.
19:28Now, remember that name because it's going to appear again here in just a little bit.
19:33But at least now you know what it's referring to when it says Ethanim.
19:39And finally, we read 1st Kings chapter 6, verse 38.
19:43And in the eleventh year, in the month Bull, the eighth new moon, the house was completed in all its matters and according to all its plans.
19:51Thus he built it for seven years.
19:54So here, we've got the name of the eighth month.
19:59And according to scripture, not any denomination's particular tradition, but according to scripture, the eighth month is named Bull.
20:10As long as I'm pronouncing that correctly.
20:12So now the names that we're used to is of the names of the months are probably come from what you've heard from Judaism.
20:20Things like Nisan or Tishrei, things like that.
20:25Those aren't actual scriptural names.
20:27Those names actually come from Babylon.
20:30Now, a lot of times you've heard a lot during this ministry and a lot of our teachings will talk about the traditions and things that come from mainstream Christianity.
20:40But there are also things like with mainstream Christianity.
20:45There are things within Judaism that were brought in from outside sources as well.
20:51One of those things are the names of the months that those within Judaism still use up to this day.
20:59For instance, we look in the Talmud and this is written somewhere.
21:04I'm actually thinking 200 C.
21:07Could be wrong.
21:08Don't quote me on that.
21:09Anyways, we see here in this quote from the Talmud.
21:12In one line, it says, as Rabbi or Rabbi Hanina said, the names of the months ascended with them from Babylonia.
21:21So when they came from Babylon, there's a lot of different things that changed and they brought with them.
21:26One of the things was the names of the months.
21:30Here in this one particular quote, you can see they use the Babylonian names for months like Tishrei, Nisan, et cetera, et cetera.
21:40But it also uses the scriptural names like Ethanim, Bull, and Ziv that we just went over.
21:47So here at this particular point in history, the Jews are starting to swap and move things around.
21:53And eventually these Babylonian names came to be the predominant usage and what was commonly used.
21:59And nowadays, those within Judaism just use the Babylonian names for the months of the year.
22:06Here's a chart comparing the Hebrew names, I'm sorry, the scriptural names with those of the Babylonian names.
22:16Here in the first month, even though scripture calls it Aviv or Abib, those within Judaism call it Nisan from the Babylonian name for the first month, which is Nisanu.
22:28Look at the seventh month there, and even though scripture calls the seventh month by the name of Ephanim, those within Judaism call it Tishrei or Tishrei from the Babylonian name Tashritu.
22:42So you can see how this is going and the various names on the left-hand side where it says Hebrew name, that's actually the name that we use within Judaism.
22:52On the right is the Babylonian name, and the yellow in parentheses is what the scriptures actually refer to these months as.
23:00But I'll remind you once again, remember that name Ethanim.
23:04It's going to come into play here pretty shortly.
23:07Now, let's go ahead and look at that name Rosh Hashanah.
23:12Rosh Hashanah, where does that come from?
23:14Why do people use it?
23:17Well, Rosh Hashanah, as we said, the literal translation of that phrase is head of the year.
23:25If it's done in the seventh month, that's not the head of the year.
23:28The first month is the head of the year.
23:30So why do they call it Rosh Hashanah?
23:33Well, this is something else that comes from Babylon as well.
23:36We'll get to in just a moment.
23:38But the actual head of the year is the first month.
23:42And what is the name of the first month?
23:44If you'll remember, scripture calls the name of the first month Aviv or Abib.
23:49But in the Judaism way of saying it nowadays, it's going to be Nisan from the Babylonian Nisanu.
23:57According to Flavius Josephus, or just plainly Josephus, this comes from the Antiquities of the Jews.
24:05Quote,
24:06But Moses appointed that Nisan should be the first month for their festivals because he brought them out of Egypt in that month,
24:14so that this month began the year as to all the solemnities that they observed to the honor of God.
24:21End quote.
24:21So during Josephus' time, they were using the first month of Aviv or Nisan as the first month,
24:31as the Rosh Hashanah, the head of the year, to start counting out for new moons, for Moedim, for feast days, etc., etc.
24:41And one of the things that Josephus is referring to here, it was all the way back to Exodus chapter 12, verse 2.
24:49This new moon is the beginning of new moons for you.
24:52It is the first new moon of the year for you.
24:56Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying,
24:59On the tenth day of this new moon, each one of them is to take for himself a lamb,
25:03according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household.
25:07Now here I've provided various different other translations for you,
25:11so you can see that what they're referring to here as the beginning of new moons
25:14is actually the beginning of months, or the first month of the year.
25:19This is talking about the first month, and the first month, of course, is the head of the year.
25:24So that is the actual Rosh Hashanah, and what people in Scripture actually refer to as Rosh Hashanah,
25:31even though it's rarely used, that term.
25:33It's usually like the beginning of new moons, beginning of the months, etc., etc.
25:38And for context, I also included another verse there, just so you know,
25:43this is talking about the first month when Pesach actually happens.
25:47We go on and look at Esther chapter 3, and it says here,
25:52In the first new moon, which is the new moon of Nisan, in the twelfth year of sovereign Ahasuerosh,
25:58someone cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from new moon to new moon,
26:04until it fell on the twelfth month, which is the new moon of Adar.
26:09Once again, the first new moon, the first month is what?
26:14Here they refer to it as Nisan.
26:16Now, of course, at this time, during the book of Esther, they are in Babylonian captivity.
26:21They don't call it Aviv, they call it Nisan, but it's referring to the first month,
26:26the Rosh Hashanah of the actual Hebrew calendar, a biblical calendar.
26:30And they were talking, it went to the twelfth month, they were casting Pur into the twelfth month,
26:35which is the new moon of Adar.
26:39Now, this is something that we don't include in this particular teaching,
26:42but if you read the story of Solomon, you'll see that in biblical times, there was twelve months.
26:48Later on, it changed, they got all kinds of messed up, but there were twelve months,
26:52so the twelfth month, Adar, would actually be the end of the year.
26:57So once again, proving that Nisan, or Aviv, more accurately,
27:02is the first month for the Rosh Hashanah of the year.
27:06So compare this verse here, also, to other verses like we did before,
27:12and you'll see that, yeah, all these English translations, and they're just about everyone else.
27:17Go ask a rabbi, go ask someone within Judaism, and when it's talking about new moon,
27:22that means the beginning of a month.
27:24And the first new moon is the first month, and that's going to be Aviv.
27:30Now let's go on and look at Ezekiel chapter 40, verse 1.
27:34And so far, this is the only spot in Scripture where I've actually found the phrase,
27:40the way we use it, as Rosh Hashanah.
27:44And here in Ezekiel chapter 40, verse 1.
27:48In the twenty-fifth year of our exile at Rosh Hashanah,
27:51on the tenth of the new moon, in the fourteenth year, after the city was stricken,
27:55on that same day the hand of Yahweh came upon me,
27:58and he brought me there.
28:00Now for those of you who are super nerds, I've also included the Hebrew here,
28:06so you can see where it actually says in Hebrew, Rosh Hashanah.
28:10Now we know this is not speaking of the seventh month.
28:14We know it's not speaking of Yom Teruah for various different things.
28:18The whole meaning and symbolism that Ezekiel is talking about here
28:23is that kind of symbolism and meaning and metaphor that aligns more with the Moedim of Pesach
28:30than it does with Yom Teruah.
28:32But besides that, the Septuagint, the LXX, the Greek translation that was done by Hebrews,
28:41actually has it as the first month instead of Rosh Hashanah.
28:47Head of the year, they actually meant, back in those times,
28:51and the people who were writing Scripture,
28:54first of the month, they actually meant Rosh Hashanah, the head of the year.
28:58The very first of the year.
29:01Like I said, a lot of times we talk about the syncretism that happens with mainstream Christianity
29:10throughout the past 2,000 years, but like we said earlier, Judaism is no exception.
29:17They have actually syncretized various things.
29:20One of the things that you may have heard of before is the Hanukkah bush during Hanukkah,
29:25which is completely from paganism and syncretized.
29:28But we're not getting on to that.
29:31We're going to stick with various things with Yom Teruah, etc., etc.
29:35And let's move on and look at a quote from the Universal Jewish Encyclopedia,
29:40and this is for the day of Yom Kippur.
29:44But it says here, quote,
29:46When the New Year's Day became the day of God's judgment,
29:49no doubt under Babylonian influence,
29:51the atoning character of Yom Kippur became still stronger.
29:55Here they're referring to the New Year's Day as the day of God's judgment.
30:01So do they think the first day of the first month is the day of God's judgment?
30:06No.
30:07What they're actually referring to here is the seventh month.
30:12They're talking about the New Year being in the seventh month,
30:14which people nowadays, or those within Judaism,
30:18think of Rosh Hashanah as the first day of the seventh month,
30:21and that is the New Year, and a whole New Year's theme.
30:24We'll be talking about that all throughout this teaching.
30:28Just know it's not the New Year.
30:30But according to the Universal Jewish Encyclopedia,
30:34this came about due to Babylonian influence.
30:38This is something that Judaism brought forth with them
30:40out of the Babylonian captivity.
30:42It's a form of syncretism within Judaism.
30:46It shouldn't have happened, but it did, and that's what is going on here.
30:49Looking at the Jewish Encyclopedia for the entry on atonement,
30:55and here it says,
30:57quote,
30:57Under the influence of Babylonian mythology,
31:00which spoke of the beginning of the year,
31:02Zagmuch, on the first day of Nisan,
31:04as the time when the gods decided the destiny of life.
31:08The idea developed also in Jewish circles
31:11that on the first of Tishri,
31:13the sacred New Year's Day and the anniversary of creation,
31:16man's doings were judged and his destiny was decided,
31:21and that on the 10th of Tishri,
31:23the decree of heaven was sealed,
31:25a view still unknown to Philo,
31:28and disputed by some rabbis.
31:30End quote.
31:32So here once again,
31:33we've got this whole Babylonian mythology influence
31:35coming in and influencing those within Judaism.
31:39Now, remember, they spent decades in exile in Babylon.
31:45No doubt they probably was around stuff like this all the time,
31:49and they picked it up,
31:50but it doesn't mean they had to bring it with them.
31:52It doesn't mean they had to accept it
31:53and start doing it themselves,
31:54but they did.
31:56Here it's talking about,
31:58spoke at the beginning of the year,
31:59on the first day of Nisan.
32:00Okay, so far so good.
32:02First day of the year is the first day of Nisan.
32:05That is the actual biblical calendar.
32:07Okay, doing good so far,
32:10but then it gets off the tracks.
32:12The idea developed also in Jewish circles
32:13that on the first of Tishrei,
32:15the sacred New Year's Day.
32:18It only talks about one New Year's Day in Scripture,
32:21and that's the first of Nisan,
32:23not the first of the seventh month.
32:26Seventh month is halfway through the year,
32:28so it can't be New Year's Day.
32:31Again, Scripture only talks about one New Year's Day
32:35and not two and not four.
32:38We've actually got a quote in the notes,
32:40if you go look it up,
32:41from the Talmud talking about four different New Year's.
32:46That's Talmud, but it's not Scripture.
32:48Keep that in mind.
32:50They picked up this whole concept
32:51of multiple New Year's from the Babylonians,
32:55and now they're considering the first of Tishrei
32:58as New Year's Day,
33:00and they're also considering it
33:02the anniversary of creation.
33:04Does that come from Babylonian influence as well?
33:08Don't know.
33:09I haven't seen anything definitive
33:10about that particular aspect,
33:12but we do know that
33:14they did not get multiple New Year's from Scripture.
33:18That definitely had to come from somewhere else,
33:20and more than likely came from Babylonian influence.
33:25And everything you can see here,
33:26we've read multiple different entries
33:27from Jewish encyclopedias themselves
33:29saying things that intimated
33:32that it was due to Babylonian influence.
33:35Let's go on and look at some more
33:37about trumpets within Scripture
33:39and how trumpets play a distinct and visible role
33:43throughout Scripture,
33:45from almost the very beginning
33:46to definitely the very end and the end times.
33:49We look at Numbers 10, verses 2-6,
33:53and I should have quoted this for you,
33:55but I didn't.
33:55You can look it up.
33:57That's Numbers 10, verses 2-6,
33:59and here the trumpets are used
34:01to call for meeting or to move the camp.
34:05Remember, in Numbers,
34:06they're still in the wilderness,
34:07so they've got these hundreds of thousands,
34:10if not millions of people
34:12that are moving through the wilderness
34:14under the guidance of Moshe,
34:16but you know how sometimes it's a struggle
34:20to really get 20 or 30 people organized
34:23and doing the same thing.
34:24Now, try to think about moving and organizing
34:28and getting hundreds of thousands,
34:32if not millions of people to do something.
34:34Yeah, most of that broke down,
34:36but it's still a logistical obstacle to get through.
34:41But one of the ways they got through that
34:43and one of the things they organized people
34:44was by the use of trumpets.
34:47They would play a certain sound,
34:49a certain trumpet,
34:49and one section would move,
34:51and then they'd do another sound
34:53and another section would move,
34:54et cetera, et cetera.
34:54And it's actually really interesting
34:56how they did that.
34:57If you look that up in Numbers chapter 10,
35:00you can see the trumpets are used
35:01for the organizing and moving of the camp
35:05while they were in the wilderness.
35:07Also, in Numbers chapter 10, verses 9 through 10,
35:10in Psalms 81, verse 3,
35:13trumpets are used in wartime
35:15and also for feast days like we saw earlier
35:18and at the start of months
35:20like we also saw earlier.
35:22And speaking of war,
35:24if you go back and read in the book of Joshua
35:26about the fall of Jericho
35:28and the battle of Jericho,
35:30trumpets also played a very prominent role there as well.
35:34Now, something to kind of get off
35:38on a little bit of a tangent.
35:39Most people, when they think of Yom Teruwa
35:41or they think of trumpets, stuff like that,
35:43they think of shofars.
35:45They think of ram's horns, kudu horns,
35:48et cetera, et cetera.
35:48But that's not all that scripture talks about.
35:53Scripture actually mentions silver trumpets
35:57and metal trumpets, metal horns and stuff like that
35:59way back in the Torah, even.
36:02So when it talks about trumpets,
36:04it doesn't always mean shofars.
36:06It can mean a animal horn
36:09or it can also be a metal horn.
36:11But that's just a little bit of a tangent.
36:14Went on to Joel chapter 2, verses 1 through 2.
36:17Blow a shofar in Zion
36:20and sound an alarm in my set-apart mountain.
36:23Let all the inhabitants of the earth tremble.
36:25For the day of Yahweh is coming.
36:27For it is near, a day of darkness and gloom,
36:30a day of clouds and thick darkness,
36:32like the morning clouds spread over the mountains.
36:35A people many and strong,
36:37the like of whom has never been,
36:40nor shall there ever be again after them
36:42to the years of many generations.
36:44So here is a blowing of a shofar this time,
36:50and it's to sound an alarm.
36:52And so that way everyone knows where it's coming from
36:55and what to expect.
36:57We move on to Matthew chapter 24, verses 29 through 31.
37:00And immediately after the distress of those days,
37:05the sun shall be darkened,
37:06and the moon shall not give its light,
37:09and the stars shall fall from the heaven,
37:11and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
37:14And then the sign of the Son of Adam
37:15shall appear in the heaven,
37:17and then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn,
37:19and they shall see the Son of Adam
37:21coming on the clouds of the heaven
37:23with power and much esteem.
37:25And he shall send his messengers
37:27with a great sound of a trumpet,
37:29and they shall gather together his chosen ones
37:31from the four winds,
37:33from one end of the heavens to the other.
37:36End quote.
37:37So here in the book of Matthew,
37:40our Messiah Yeshua is telling us about the end times
37:44and what's going on,
37:45and one of the things that he mentions
37:47during these end times
37:48is the use of a trumpet,
37:51the use of a horn,
37:53to say it generically.
37:54All the way up to the end times,
37:57these trumpets, these horns,
37:59play a distinct and visible role.
38:02Going into 1 Corinthians 15, verse 52.
38:07In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
38:10at the last trumpet,
38:12for the trumpet shall sound,
38:13and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
38:16and we shall be changed.
38:19So various things that go into this one particular verse,
38:22but just go ahead and point out,
38:24again, trumpets and the sound of a trumpet or horn
38:27is going to play a distinct and visible role
38:30even in the end times,
38:32and this is according to the Apostle Paul now.
38:35You can also see that the dead shall be raised incorruptible.
38:39This is going back to our
38:40What Happens When We Die video and teaching.
38:43Again, this is hinting back to the fact
38:46that when we die,
38:48we are unconscious,
38:50we are dead,
38:52we're not singing,
38:53playing harps,
38:54flying around,
38:54wearing cloth diapers all the time.
38:57No, we're just unconscious
38:59until we are raised again
39:00at that sound of the trumpet
39:02to be with Yeshua
39:04at the resurrection of the just,
39:07or if you're watching this video
39:09and you're not saved,
39:11you're not part of the righteous,
39:13it'll be the second resurrection for you.
39:16But, yeah,
39:18just going back and showing
39:19this is how trumpets
39:21still play a distinct and visible role
39:23even in the end times.
39:24Now, just,
39:25if you're watching this right now
39:26and you are not saved,
39:28you're not born again,
39:29you do not know Yeshua,
39:31then by all means,
39:32write to us somehow,
39:33get through our email
39:34at team at godhonesttruth.com,
39:37write to us in a comment,
39:37through one of our social media
39:39or networking pages,
39:41get with us
39:42and we can answer any questions
39:44you might have,
39:45but definitely you need
39:47to start thinking about
39:47what's going to happen to you
39:48after you die
39:50because once you die,
39:52that's it.
39:52You have no more chance
39:54at redemption or salvation,
39:55so now is the time to do it.
39:58You're not guaranteed another breath.
40:00And if you would like to live forever
40:01in the kingdom of heaven,
40:03you need to come to Yeshua
40:05and be saved.
40:06So get with us,
40:07get with a local pastor
40:08or something like that
40:08and yeah,
40:12get your life straightened out
40:14and turn the right way
40:15the way it should.
40:16Like I said,
40:16feel free to contact us
40:17if you'd like.
40:19Moving on to 1 Thessalonians 4,
40:21verse 16.
40:23Because the master himself
40:24shall come down from heaven
40:25with a shout,
40:26with the voice of a chief messenger
40:28and with the trumpet
40:30of Elohim
40:32and the dead
40:33and Messiah
40:34shall rise
40:35first.
40:37So here,
40:38not only is
40:40a trumpet
40:40or a horn
40:41playing a distinct
40:42and visible role
40:42in the end times
40:43again,
40:44but here it's even called
40:45the trumpet
40:46of Elohim,
40:47the trumpet
40:48or horn
40:49of Yahweh.
40:50It's almost
40:51as if you could say
40:52that Yahweh himself
40:53has a horn,
40:55has a trumpet.
40:55I don't want to
40:57say it definitively,
40:59but that is the way
41:00it's worded,
41:01at least here
41:01in this particular
41:02translation.
41:04So yeah,
41:05trumpets and horns
41:05and shofars,
41:06et cetera,
41:07et cetera,
41:07play a distinct
41:08and visible role
41:10all throughout Scripture,
41:11even up and through
41:13to the end times.
41:15Now,
41:15you've learned
41:16what Yom Teruah is.
41:18You've learned
41:18about the different names.
41:19You've learned
41:20about the traditions
41:21and the syncretism
41:23and where it comes from
41:23in Scripture,
41:24et cetera,
41:24et cetera.
41:25So now you're thinking,
41:26okay,
41:27well,
41:27the Torah commands it.
41:28I want to live
41:29the way Yahweh
41:30told me to live.
41:31I want to celebrate it,
41:32but hey,
41:33brother,
41:33I've never celebrated
41:34it before.
41:35How do I celebrate it?
41:37How do I do it
41:37this year?
41:38How does my family
41:41celebrate it?
41:42Things like that.
41:43Well,
41:43I'm glad you asked
41:44because we're going
41:45to get into that
41:45right now.
41:47If you want to
41:48celebrate Yom Teruah
41:49according to Scripture,
41:51here are the
41:52scriptural requirements
41:53and commandments
41:54for celebrating
41:56Yom Teruah.
41:58Number one,
41:59only one day
42:00is mentioned
42:01in Scripture
42:01for the Moedim
42:03of Yom Teruah.
42:05Now,
42:06it doesn't say
42:07it's only one day,
42:08but we're getting
42:09kind of nitpicky.
42:10A lot of those
42:11within Judaism
42:11will actually celebrate
42:13it for two days,
42:14and there's reasons
42:14for that.
42:16Back in the day,
42:17before they had
42:18cellular communication,
42:20before they had
42:21radios that,
42:23like the military
42:24radios,
42:25walkie-talkies,
42:26CB,
42:26stuff like that,
42:27before they had
42:28television,
42:29satellite,
42:30et cetera,
42:31et cetera,
42:32they had to
42:33convey by word
42:34of mouth
42:35or through
42:35messenger,
42:36stuff like that,
42:37and that took
42:37a lot longer
42:38than it does now
42:39when we send
42:39an email
42:40halfway across
42:41the world.
42:42So,
42:43they want to
42:43verify when
42:45Yom Teruah is
42:46by more than
42:47just one sighting.
42:49So,
42:49they wait for
42:49another sighting
42:50verification to come in,
42:51and that might
42:52take a day or two.
42:53So,
42:53they started
42:54making it
42:55two days.
42:56And a lot of times,
42:57those who are
42:58referred to as
42:59being in the
42:59diaspora
43:00have different
43:02links
43:03for the
43:04various
43:04Moedim,
43:05but that's
43:05all according
43:06to Judaism,
43:07and this is one
43:08that has no
43:09exception.
43:10Within Judaism,
43:12those who are in
43:12the quote-unquote
43:13diaspora
43:13celebrate Yom Teruah
43:15for two days,
43:16but unlike
43:17the other
43:18feast days
43:18in Moedim,
43:19they also
43:20celebrate
43:20Yom Teruah
43:21for two days
43:22in Israel
43:23as well.
43:25And again,
43:25it all goes back
43:26to the tradition
43:27of waiting for
43:28verification
43:28from more than
43:29just one source.
43:31But,
43:31just so you know,
43:32for your notes,
43:33Yom Teruah
43:34in Scripture
43:35is only referred
43:36to as
43:37one day.
43:39You may be
43:39asking yourself
43:39right now,
43:40well,
43:40what if I
43:41celebrate it
43:41for two days
43:42like the rest
43:42of the Jews
43:43do?
43:44Well,
43:45that's fine.
43:45I don't see
43:46anything wrong
43:46with it.
43:47It doesn't
43:47really come
43:48from a pagan
43:49source
43:49the length
43:50of days
43:50that I can
43:51see.
43:52So,
43:52you want to
43:53do two days?
43:53Do two days.
43:54But keep in
43:55mind that if
43:56you do do
43:56it for two
43:56days or even
43:57if you do
43:57it for one
43:58day,
43:58that the
43:58first day
43:59is a
44:00Shabbaton.
44:01That's where
44:01you do
44:02no servile
44:03work.
44:04And the
44:05only thing
44:05you are
44:06allowed to
44:06do as
44:06far as
44:07work goes
44:07in contrast
44:08to the
44:08weekly
44:08Shabbat
44:09is preparing
44:10a meal.
44:11Now,
44:12the only
44:13stipulation
44:14of that
44:14or the
44:15only
44:15exception
44:16to that
44:17would be
44:17if the
44:18first day
44:19of Yom
44:19Teruah,
44:20which is
44:20supposed to
44:20be a
44:20Shabbaton,
44:21lands on
44:22a weekly
44:23Shabbat.
44:24At that
44:25point,
44:26it's also
44:26a Shabbat,
44:27so no
44:28preparation
44:29of food
44:30either.
44:32Also,
44:32another way
44:33to celebrate
44:34Yom
44:34Teruah
44:35nowadays,
44:35according to
44:36scripture,
44:36is to
44:37blow a
44:37trumpet or
44:38a shofar,
44:39some kind
44:40of animal
44:40horn,
44:41make a
44:41joyful shout
44:42on this
44:43particular
44:44day.
44:45And this
44:45could mean,
44:46this could
44:46go about
44:47a couple
44:48different ways.
44:48Like we
44:49said,
44:50Teruah
44:50and Yom
44:51Teruah
44:52is defined
44:52as a
44:53day of
44:53trumpets
44:53or a
44:54day of
44:54shouting.
44:55And Teruah
44:56can mean
44:56a shouting
44:57or joy
44:58or a
45:00sound of
45:00alarm.
45:01And we
45:02said it
45:02also played
45:03a role
45:03even up
45:04until the
45:04end times.
45:05And these
45:06trumpets in
45:06the end times,
45:07when they
45:07play at the
45:08first resurrection,
45:10that is going
45:10to be a
45:11sound of
45:12joy,
45:13a trumpet
45:13blast,
45:14a shofar
45:14blast of
45:15joy.
45:17However,
45:18the second
45:18resurrection,
45:19when they
45:19hear those
45:20trumpets,
45:20the unrighteous,
45:21the unsaved,
45:22who are going
45:23to burn
45:23up in
45:24the fires
45:25of Gehenna,
45:25the lake
45:25of fire,
45:27that sound
45:27is going
45:28to be a
45:28sound of
45:29alarm.
45:30So you're
45:31kind of
45:31seeing how
45:31all this
45:32kind of
45:32fits together
45:33now.
45:33But if
45:34you're
45:34celebrating
45:34yourself,
45:35make a
45:36joyful shout,
45:37blow a
45:37shofar,
45:38blow an
45:39animal horn,
45:40blow a
45:40trumpet,
45:40etc.,
45:41etc.,
45:42because after
45:43all,
45:43it is
45:44Yom Teruah,
45:45the day
45:45of trumpets,
45:47or the
45:47day of
45:48shouting.
45:49This is also
45:50supposed to be
45:50a day of
45:51remembrance.
45:52Remember what?
45:53Remember various
45:54things.
45:55There's no
45:55specific thing
45:56mentioned in
45:56scripture when
45:57it talks about
45:58Yom Teruah.
45:59It just says
45:59a day of
46:00remembrance.
46:02Remember the
46:02commandments,
46:03especially the
46:04Ten Commandments,
46:05but all the
46:05commandments,
46:06they're all
46:06good.
46:07We should
46:07obey all of
46:08them,
46:08right?
46:09Remember the
46:10commandments,
46:10remember scripture,
46:11remember the
46:12covenant with
46:13Yahweh,
46:14remember what
46:15our Messiah
46:16did for our
46:17sins and our
46:18salvation.
46:19Remember all
46:21these various
46:21things and the
46:22good things you
46:23have in your
46:23life.
46:23Sit down and
46:24count your
46:25blessings and
46:25see how good
46:26your life is.
46:28Just remember
46:29the important
46:30things and the
46:32good things that
46:33you should be
46:34remembering.
46:35Make it a
46:35day of
46:36remembrance.
46:37also make
46:38sure you
46:39have a
46:40set-apart
46:41or holy
46:41gathering.
46:41This is
46:42something that
46:43we're told to
46:43do in
46:44scripture itself.
46:45Get with your
46:46family, get with
46:47a local
46:47congregation, go
46:48online if you
46:50can to get
46:51together with
46:52brothers and
46:52sisters of the
46:54faith and have
46:55a gathering
46:57together.
46:58And finally,
46:59the other thing
47:00that's told to
47:01us in
47:02scripture that's
47:03commanded on
47:04Yom Teruah
47:04is to present
47:06a burnt
47:06offering to
47:07Yahweh.
47:09Now, like we
47:09said before, we
47:11are unable to
47:12do that
47:12nowadays.
47:13Now, if you
47:14remember, the
47:15reason for that
47:15is because there
47:16is no temple
47:17and there is no
47:18active priesthood
47:20service going on
47:21in the temple
47:21either.
47:23So currently,
47:24once again,
47:25until they get
47:25that big zit off
47:26the temple mount
47:27and build the
47:28temple again,
47:29we cannot do a
47:30burnt offering.
47:31So we're unable
47:31to do that last
47:32one, but the
47:33rest of them,
47:33we can do
47:35nowadays.
47:37However, there
47:38are some other
47:38things, too, that
47:39Judaism does in
47:41celebration of
47:41Yom Teruah, and
47:42some of these
47:43things you can
47:43actually adopt
47:45into your
47:45celebration of
47:47Yom Teruah
47:47at home.
47:49For instance,
47:50the Jews, like
47:52I said, they
47:52think of this as
47:53well, pretty much
47:54the new year, but
47:56definitely a new
47:57year.
47:58In that context,
47:59they reflect on
48:01the past year
48:02they've had and
48:03reflect on what
48:04they've done
48:04right, they
48:05reflect on what
48:06they've done
48:06wrong, who
48:07they've done
48:08wrong to, they
48:08try to make
48:09amends, they
48:10think about how
48:11they can do
48:11better in the
48:12next year, etc.,
48:14etc.
48:15This also
48:16includes personal
48:17reflection on
48:18things you can
48:18improve in
48:19yourself, they
48:21think about how
48:22you want to
48:23grow and better
48:24yourself in the
48:26next upcoming
48:27year, because
48:27again, they think
48:28that this is a
48:29new year, even
48:30though it's
48:31not.
48:32They have
48:33what's called a
48:34tashlik service.
48:36And this
48:36tashlik service
48:37is, if you've
48:39never been to
48:40one, it's, I
48:42don't know how
48:42to describe it
48:43or describe,
48:44with an adjective
48:45anyways.
48:46But basically, a
48:47tashlik service is
48:48where people,
48:50usually those
48:50within Judaism,
48:52will get together
48:52near a flowing
48:54stream of water,
48:55like a creek or a
48:55river or something
48:56like that, and
48:57they'll take these
48:58tiny pieces of
48:58bread, and
48:59they will take
49:01that, actually
49:02have like a
49:02chunk of bread,
49:03but they'll take
49:03tiny pieces off
49:04and toss them
49:04into the river
49:06or the creek
49:07or what have
49:07you, and as
49:09it carries it
49:09down the stream,
49:10that's like
49:11symbolic of
49:12taking the sins
49:13away from that
49:14past year, because
49:15again, going back
49:16to that whole
49:16New Year's theme.
49:18Now, this is
49:19something I would
49:19advise not doing.
49:21I just included
49:22this here as a
49:23description of how
49:25Jews celebrate, but
49:26one reason I would
49:27say that we should
49:28not do this whole
49:28Tashlik service
49:29is because, well,
49:31we have Messiah
49:32now, the Messiah
49:34from Scripture
49:34that was foretold
49:35in the Torah, in
49:36the Tanakh, who
49:37died for our
49:37sins and took
49:38away our sins, so
49:40those of us who
49:40are saved and
49:41born again, we
49:42have no need for
49:43water to take
49:44away bread to
49:45symbolize taking
49:46away our sins
49:47because our sins
49:48have already been
49:49taken away by
49:50Yeshua himself.
49:52So this is
49:53almost, I don't
49:54know how to put
49:55this professionally
49:55so I just won't
49:56say it, but it
49:56almost seems like
49:57going somewhat
49:59against the
50:00sacrifice of
50:00Yeshua, but
50:02I'll leave it
50:02there and you
50:03decide for
50:03yourselves.
50:04Once again, you
50:06men out there, you
50:06are the head of
50:07your families, you
50:08will answer for
50:08your own families,
50:10you make your
50:10own mind up, but
50:11yeah, that's the
50:13Tashlik service.
50:14Now, something
50:15else that Jews
50:16do, or those
50:17within Judaism
50:18do, is they
50:20eat sweet foods,
50:21and the reason
50:22they do this is
50:23so that it's
50:25with the intention
50:25of having a
50:27sweet year coming
50:28up.
50:29So they eat all
50:30kinds of various
50:31sweet foods, such
50:33as honey and
50:35apples, which is
50:36always good any
50:37time of the year,
50:38so it would also
50:39be good during
50:40Yom Teruah as
50:41well.
50:42But other things
50:42they eat that are
50:43sweet are different
50:44fruits that have a
50:46sweet taste to
50:47them, and a lot
50:48of times people
50:48actually try new
50:50foods, new fruits.
50:52They haven't
50:53tried before, and
50:55again, this all
50:55goes back to the
50:56concept of having
50:58a sweet new
50:59upcoming new
51:00year.
51:02And, yeah,
51:04someone in the
51:05chat brought up a
51:05good point.
51:06This whole Yom
51:07Teruah is the
51:08beginning or the
51:09start of the 10
51:10days of all
51:12leading up to
51:13Yom Kippurim,
51:14which we're doing
51:15a teaching on
51:16next week as
51:17well.
51:18As far as food
51:19goes, those
51:20within Judaism
51:21want a sweet
51:23year coming up,
51:24so they eat
51:25sweet foods a
51:26lot of times.
51:28And if you're
51:28going to have a
51:29feast day, you're
51:30going to have
51:30food, and you're
51:31going to eat, you
51:32got to have
51:34challah, right?
51:36Always challah.
51:37And why not?
51:38Challah is good.
51:39I don't care how
51:40you make it, challah
51:41is good.
51:42Anyways, on Yom
51:44Teruah, they
51:45actually make
51:45challah in a
51:47different way.
51:48A lot of times
51:49they will add
51:50things like honey
51:51and raisins to
51:52their challah in
51:54order to make
51:55it sweet.
51:55Again, going back
51:56to that sweet
51:57theme to have a
51:58sweet New
51:59Year's coming
51:59up.
52:01Another thing
52:01too is that
52:03those within
52:03Judaism will
52:04make their
52:04challah in a
52:05round or
52:06circular shape
52:07as well.
52:08And this is
52:09different for
52:10Yom Teruah
52:11than it is the
52:13other challah
52:13that they make
52:14throughout the
52:15year.
52:15So if you're
52:17looking for
52:18food for a
52:19feast on
52:20Yom Teruah,
52:21think about
52:21these various
52:23things like
52:23honey and
52:24fruit and
52:25new fruit
52:26especially.
52:27But if you
52:28want to stick
52:28with the
52:29traditional
52:29theme that
52:31those within
52:31Judaism do,
52:32do sweet
52:33stuff.
52:33That will be
52:34kind of the
52:34theme for
52:35Yom Teruah
52:36whereas in
52:37Hanukkah,
52:38you do
52:38fried stuff.
52:40Eat kind of
52:41healthy now,
52:41then we get to
52:42Hanukkah and
52:42we'll eat all
52:43the fried stuff.
52:44And finally
52:45in summary,
52:47we see that
52:48Yom Teruah is
52:49the scripturally
52:50commanded day
52:51of trumpets
52:52or shouting,
52:53the making
52:53of a joyful
52:55noise.
52:56The first day
52:58of the seventh
52:58month is the
53:00feast or the
53:01Moedim of
53:02Yom Teruah,
53:03the first day
53:04of the seventh
53:05month.
53:07And that month
53:07is named
53:08Ethanim
53:09in scripture
53:10anyways.
53:11The first day
53:12of Yom Teruah
53:13is a Shabbaton
53:14where you do
53:14no servile
53:16work.
53:17However,
53:17you're allowed
53:17to prepare
53:18your meals.
53:19Rosh Hashanah
53:20is the first
53:21month,
53:22which is
53:23scripturally
53:23named Aviv.
53:25Again,
53:26the head
53:26of the year
53:27is the first
53:28month of the
53:29year and
53:29that is
53:29Aviv.
53:31So Rosh Hashanah
