The Festivals of the 7th Month - The High Holy Days

The Festivals of the 7^th Month of Tishrei    -     The High Holy Days

The Jewish New Year and High Holy Days are soon approaching.  At Beit Ariel Congregation, these ancient festivals commemorate the wonderful acts of the God of Israel from our unique perspective as followers of Yeshua the Messiah.  During these Holy Days we commemorate the great themes of redemption and atonement in their highest meanings, as are seen through the teachings and works of Our Messiah.

We hope you can join us.  The Holidays tell a complete story beginning on Rosh Hashanah and concluding on Sukkot.  We invite you to experience the full spiritual effect of the season with the Beit Ariel family!
