Well what's on the menu?
The account of healthy and Holy eating (kosher) is found in Leviticus chapter 11. As believers in the
Messiah's new covenant, we believe that we are issued grace. But as I mature I have come into the revelation of these
two things:
1. The Holy Scriptures have been tamperd with and
2. Avoid frustrating grace. Which means we may ask and receive forgiveness from The Throne of
Grace, however pushing the limitations can be harmful to your rightstanding in Adonijah. Therefore here is what the
Holy Father ordained in his Holy Word concerning food and holidays. Along with present acceptable common practices.
Acceptable Foods
These foods are listed in the Torah as clean foods.
Poultry (chicken,hen,turkey,etc.)
Fish, of any kind.
Meat (goat, lamb, cow, ox)
These are listed as unclean foods.
Flying things: Eagle, vultures, ostrich, raven, nighthawk, sea gull, hawks of every variety.
Anything that swarms or stalks.
Water creatures: Crab, shrimp, shark, mussles, claims, anything without fins and scales.
Meat: Rabbit, mole, mouse (rodents), lizards of every variety, geko, land crocodile, and chameleon.Pig,
camel, dog, bear, and etc . Any animal that chews the cud and has a cleft hoof or no true hoof. As the Law
says. Or in other words any animal that has a paw is forbidden to be eaten.
These things are an abomination. Anyone or anything that touches or eats these things must be washed . And will
be considered unclean all day.
Forbiden Food Preparation
- Cooking or soaking a kid, as in baby lamb in its mother's milk.
- Thus cheese or any dairy foods with meat are forbidden.
-Some question if that applies to all meats or flesh (for example fish). So some opt to be vegetarians.
Or some others avoid eating cheese and flesh together period.
-Also consider if you are in peace times and are not severally being oppressed or enslaved. Other than
in those cases these diatary restrictions should be observed at all times.
-However I think its safe to have dairy with poultry and fish. Because they do not give
milk.
Festivals - APPOINTED TIMES
- Mandatory Festivals
There are three mandatory festivals as recorded by the chief prophet Moses. In Deuteronomy 16:16&17 it lists
them as : 1) The Feast of Unleavened Bread, 2) The Feast of Weeks, and 3) The Feast of Booths. Most modern Jews refer to these
festivals as the Pilgramage Festivals. However the Torah says that they are mandated.
- The Feast of Unleavened Bread (read Deuteronomy 16:1-17)
(MODERN - Passover begins in March or April, on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Nisan. Most Jews celebrate Passover
for eight days, but Jews in Israel, and Reform Jews in other countries, celebrate it for seven days. Passover, or Pesah, is
observed at home at a ceremonial feast called the Seder.)
(ORIGINAL)This festival commemorates the exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt(Mitzrayim). It begins with the observance
of the PASSOVER. Passover, in Hebrew called Pesach, begins on the 14th day of the 7th
month of the year. It is parallel to the month of march and April of the Gregorian calendar. It originally
occured in the month of Av. Av was to be the beginning of the year.
-
However on the day of the celebration all leaven is removed from the house. An entire sacrificed lamb should
be eaten. Depending on the size of the family a lamb can be shared between neighboring families. As is stated in Exodus 12:1-19.
The sacrifice should be roasted and served with unleavened bread (bread without yeast called matzah) and bitter
herbs.
For six more days you should eat unleavened bread. The day after the sixth day begins the Fest of Weeks.
- Feast of Weeks
Seven days after Pesach count of seven weeks. During which you shall have feasting and free will offering of
the first fruits.
III. Feast of Booths
(Modern Sukkot is a harvest festival that begins five days after Yom Kippur. Jews build small huts for Sukkot
as a reminder of the huts the Israelites lived in during their wandering in the wilderness. (For details on sukkot building
see the Mishnah). On the last day of this festival, called Simhat Torah, Jews celebrate the completion of the
yearly reading of the Torah.)
(ORIGINALLY) As mandated by The Most High. The Feast of Booths or Sukkot (Tabernacles) is 50 days after
Passover. Which is where we get the greek word Pentecost (celebration of 50 days). Commemorates the giving of
the Torah on Mt. Sinai. Is celebrated by having a sedar service in the home and temple.

Jewish calendar,
the calendar used by the Jews, which dates the Creation
at 3760 B.C., and divides the year into 12 months of 29 or 30 days, with an extra month of 29
days every second or third year in each 19-year cycle; Hebrew calendar. The civil year begins in September or October and
the ecclesiastical year in March or April.
The Hebrew calendar begins with an estimated moment of the world's creation. Hebrew tradition has placed this moment
at 3,760 years and 3 months before the birth of Jesus Christ. To find a year in the Hebrew calendar, we must add 3,760 to
the date in the Gregorian calendar. For example, 2000 in the Gregorian calendar is 5760 in the Hebrew calendar. But this system
will not work to the exact month, because the Hebrew year begins in September or October in the Gregorian calendar. By mid-October
2000, for instance, the Hebrew year had become 5761.
The Hebrew year is based on the moon and normally consists of 12 months. The months are Tishri, Heshvan, Kislev, Tebet,
Shebat, Adar, Nisan, Iyar, Sivan, Tammuz, Ab, and Elul. They are alternately 30 and 29 days long. Seven times during
every 19-year period, an embolismic or extra 29-day month, called Veadar, is inserted between Adar and Nisan.
At the same time, Adar is given 30 days instead of 29. These additions keep the Hebrew calendar and holidays in agreement
with the seasons of the solar year*.

*Variances in observances
The denominations of Reconstructionist Judaism and Reform Judaism
generally regard Jewish laws ( halakha relating to all these holidays as important, but no longer binding. Conservative Judaism hold that the halakha relating to these days are still normative (i.e. to be
accepted as binding.)
There are a number of differences in religious practices between Orthodox and Conservative Jews, because
these denominations have distinct ways of understanding the process of how halakha has historically developed, and thus how
it can still develop. Nonetheless, both of these groups have nearly identical teachings about how to observe these holidays.
For more details please read your Torah. Also see The Mishnah.
