Spring has finally sprung, what an amazing time of the (new) year! After the dreary months of winter, spring is certainly welcomed for many reasons. Warmth returns, the abundant rain, plant life, and much more. Also around this time, many discussions within the assembly of YHWH arise regarding the calendar. Specifically, these exchanges are centered around the calculation of the new year, Abib.
For those unaware, the Hebrew calendar is not the same as the Gregorian, which is what the secular world operates on. The Hebrew new year actually occurs in the March to April time frame, not January 1st as we have been accustomed to. Nevertheless, disputes emerge on the application of how Abib 1 is ‘observed’, or determined. The modern-day Jewish method involves the observation of the ripening barley to determine the new month. This study will be examining this practice in great detail, comparing it with scripture. After all, we are instructed to remove the leaven from our homes, which we have learned is not purely a physical exercise, but spiritual and doctrinal in nature also.
Our goal with this study to examine the standard practice, compare it to the Word and make sure we are doing things according to His commands, and not by the traditions of men.
