Yom Tovim - Feasts

--Updated Octrober 2025 – Shebat 5785 -
With
Dr. Rabbi Reuven ben Avraham-Goossens, Phd.
A note for the non-Jewish reader: Each Sabbath or Yom Tov (Feasts) commences
the evening prior and we light
our candles approximately 18 minutes before sunset.
During
the year we read Fifty-four passages of the Torah as well as passages of the
Tanakh. Each Parasha has a particular theme is named
after one of the first words of the opening passage, such as
“Bereshit,” which translates as “in the Beginning” -
Bereshit - Genesis chapter 1:1, etc.
The Yom
Tovim, being Hebrew the Feasts, in this case the “High
Holy Days” are located below.
Please Note: Below are only the Seven High Holy Days as mentioned Vayikra - Leviticus chapter 23, for these were the Yom Tovim we were to gather at Yerushalayim
and not at the others, being the more minor feasts, although they are very
special, but of a lesser meaning yet still wonderful. What is not known by many
is that these seven feasts have massive meanings which go far deeper than what
is generally understood, for within these there are treasures beyond compare,
and through these studies I am slowly releasing more and more of these blessed
treasures will come out be understood, and I will do this as I will be led to
do so.
For blessings before and after the Readings, please see - A
Guide to Daily Prayers.

Introduction -
Greetings for the Yom Tovim:
Greetings for most of
the Yom Tovim can be “Chag Sameach” - “Happy Holiday (Feast).”
However for Rosh Hashanah it
should be the following; “Shana Tova”
- “A Good Year”. This
is a shorter version of the following; “Shana Tovah U’Metuka” - “A Good and a Sweet Year”.
In the days leading
up to Yom Kippur, people may greet you with “Gmar Tov.” Again this is the short version of the phrase
“Gmar Chatima Tovah,” meaning - “a good final sealing.”
“Gmar Tov” is a wish for a favourable
outcome following the introspection, repentance, and fasting of this
High Holiday. It’s a hope for spiritual renewal!

I trust that this page has been of a benefit to you as you will be able to
keep up to date with the Yom Tovim, the main Feasts, be it at home, if Shul is
no longer possible for some. If of course, if all possible it would be good to
go to the Synagogue on Shabbat and especially the Yom Tovim, and possibly if not a member why not become one. But chose your
congregation carefully, and should you so desire, ask me for guidance per
email, see the link down the page. And there is a complete list of two years of
Parshas available.
