... 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.
Purim begins the evening of March 13, 2025 and goes through March 14, 2025, or through March 15, 2025 in Jerusalem.

Is it a problem if a High Holy Day, an annual Sabbath, falls on a weekday-7, a Saturday, a weekly Sabbath?
We see this happen fairly frequently on various luni-solar calendars. It's just how the days and their counts work out sometimes when we use the new moon to begin a month. When a "double sabbath" happens, the Holy Day will normally take precedence over the weekly Shabbat. It's still a Sabbath, so it's really not a problem - right? It must be how Yah wants it... (?) |
Is it really okay for one type of Sabbath to blot out another?
