... a Journey, a Way of Life
Returning to the Garden is an expression of heart and mind,
a spiritual pursuit in a physical existence,
a journey, a way of life.
We seek a reverent, peaceful, loving relationship with our Creator Yahweh and the world around us.
We live according to a coherent understanding as it is revealed to us by His Holy Spirit
and our ongoing study of His Word.
We invite you to join us as we find the narrow way together,
abiding in Him and listening to His Divine Whisper,
returning to the garden.

* Chanukkah and Purim are strictly cultural and religious celebrations of the Jewish people. Neither of these holidays are appointed in the Torah, nor are they present in the Zadokite priestly record of the Dead Sea Scrolls. However, there is certainly no prohibition in the Torah for celebrating Chanukkah or Purim by Believers who choose to do so. Therefore in our opinion, they should be observed according to the officially recognized calendar of the Jewish people with proper respect to their traditions and culture. Consequently, these two holidays are not reckoned by Zadokite Sabbath Calendar dating, and they are highlighted on our calendars according to the dating of the Hillel Jewish calendar.
Chanukkah begins the evening of December 25,2024 and goes through January 2, 2025.
Purim begins the evening of March 13, 2025 and goes through March 14, 2025, or through March 15, 2025 in Jerusalem.

When Did Y'shua Consider a Day to Begin?
The fundamental understanding of "when the Biblical day begins" continues to be a lively topic of discussion among brethren. Many people have very definite conclusions about how a "Day" is defined in Scripture while others continue to question and investigate various opinions. So what might our Messiah have to say about it?
Does our King and High Priest offer a clear solution to this ongoing debate?
A dear brother with a keen eye pointed something out to us as he was reading in the Gospel of Luke.

How Do They Relate to Yah's Calendar Work?
This 12-page article delves into the material of "New Year" a little more deeply. We address what we see as some misconceptions surrounding the basic criteria as laid out in the scrolls. We are seeing attempts to "correct" or adjust the calendar with methods that are (in our opinion) based on faulty assumptions. These "fixes" introduce alterations that cause unfounded divergences from the timeless perfection of this ancient calendar. Yah created time with an aspect of Divine Patterning that is absolutely unbroken and perpetual within the schematic framework of the Zadokite Sabbath Calendar just as it is.
