| | Jewish holiday - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | It is the first holiday mentioned in the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), and God was the first one to observe it. | | | A Jewish holiday or Jewish Festival is a day or series of days observed by Jews as holy or secular commemorations of important events in Jewish history. | | | Tisha B'Av is a fast day, that commemorates two of the saddest days in Jewish history— the destruction of both the first Temple (587 BC) originally built by King Solomon, (see Solomon's Temple), and the Second Temple in 70 on this same date. |

| | Jewish Holiday Calendar |
| | Thus, the Yovel year of freedom is akin to the holiday of Shavuot in that on Shavuot, we attained spiritual freedom, and a spiritual elevation of ourselves from idol-worship, superstitions, and self-worship. | | | Jewish Holiday Calendar Fact #5: The semi-festivals = Lag Ba-Omer, and Hamishah Asar Bi-Shevat [also known as: Hamishah Asar Bishvat, Tu B'Shevat or Tu Bi Shevat = literally "the 15th of Shevat" in Hebrew (Shevat is a Hebrew month name)]. | | | Jewish Holiday Calendar Fact #10: As mentioned, the term "Regalim" primarily means "foot" or "leg", as in a journey on foot or a pilgrimmage, but also can mean "times", as in the times when a festival takes place. |

| | Judaism 101: Chanukkah |
| | Chanukkah, the Jewish festival of rededication, also known as the festival of lights, is an eight day festival beginning on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev. | | | Chanukkah is not mentioned in Jewish scripture; the story is related in the book of Maccabbees, which Jews do not accept as scripture. | | | He began to oppress the Jews severely, placing a Hellenistic priest in the Temple, massacring Jews, prohibiting the practice of the Jewish religion, and desecrating the Temple by requiring the sacrifice of pigs (a non-kosher animal) on the altar. |

| | Jewish Roots--WE ARE A SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHURCH. |
| | Jewish believers were excommunicated from the church if they continued to keep the Sabbath on the seventh day as God commanded in the Ten Commandments. | | | Jewish believers in Yeshua grew from the 12 disciples to 3,000 on the Day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was poured out. | | | The leadership of the church became anti-Jewish after 135 A.D. The church and synagogue were completely separated, and Jewish believers had to decide whether to assimilate with the Gentile church, give up their beliefs, keep their beliefs secret in the synagogue, or become Ebionites or Nazarenes. |

| | Judaism 101: Purim |
| | Although there are five books of Jewish scripture that are properly referred to as megillahs (Esther, Ruth, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, and Lamentations), this is the one people usually mean when the speak of The Megillah. | | | Purim is one of the most joyous and fun holidays on the Jewish calendar. | | | This was a dangerous thing for Esther to do, because anyone who came into the king's presence without being summoned could be put to death, and she had not been summoned. |

| | Predictably, synagogues, temples and Jewish Community Centers around the country were besieged by crowds for the memorial observances. | | | Which brings us to the relative popularity of those Jewish holidays and events that allow themselves to be secularized. | | | It is hard to think of a holiday bearing greater religious significance than Shavuot; it is also hard to think of a Jewish holiday that gets less attention. |

| | Tu B'Shevat, the 15th of Shevat on the Jewish calendar is the day that marks the beginning of a "New Year for Trees." This is the season in which the earliest-blooming trees in the Land of Israel emerge from their winter sleep and begin a new fruit-bearing cycle. | | | The 15th of Av is the most mysterious day of the Jewish calendar: our Sages proclaim it one of the two greatest festivals of the year (the other being Yom Kippur!), yet they ordained no special observances or celebrations for it. | | | This is because a Jewish "day" begins and ends at sunset, rather than at midnight. |

| | Christmas for Jews - How Hanukkah became a major holiday. By David Greenberg |
| | In 1998, the adherence to a modest Jewish ritual such as celebrating Hanukkah follows in the tradition of the ancient Israelites, who spurned the pressures to adopt Hellenism. | | | At first, Zionist organizations used the holiday as an excuse to prod individuals to donate coins to the cause. | | | The Hanukkah lesson being taught, Sklare noted, was no longer reverence to God for performing a miracle but rather the triumph over religious intolerance--a perfect message for liberal America in the age of the civil rights movement. |
