HaTikva (The Hope) Israel’s National Anthem

English Lyrics

As long as deep in the heart, The soul of a Jew yearns, And forward to the East To Zion, an eye looks Our hope will not be lost, The hope of two thousand years, To be a free nation in our land, The land of Zion and Jerusalem.

Torah Portions

The Torah (the first 5 books of Scripture), commonly known as the Law (but more correctly Teaching), is divided into portions, so that the whole Torah is read in 1 year.

Each portion is named after a key word in the opening paragraph of the portion. The custom of reading the Torah on every Shabbat was already practiced in the days of Yahushua our Messiah - Please see the next page.

New Moons

On this calendar the New Moons are expressed in the Hebrew form “Rosh Chodesh”, literally meaning “Head/Beginning New/Renewed”, denoting the first sighting of the moon after conjunction. The day after the first sighting of the moon is the first day of a new month.

The New Moon days in this calendar are calculated as close as possible for Auckland. It is recommended that you look out for the New Moon in your area.

The New Moon (beginning of the new month) determines the dates of the festivals of the first month (Aviv) and the seventh month (Tishrei). It is very important to confirm the

date of the New Moon of Aviv and Tishrei, for these will influence all the dates of the Set Apart appointments legislated in Wayyiqra (Leviticus) 23.

The Scriptural year begins with the first New Moon after the barley in Israel reaches the stage in its ripeness called “aviv”.

Appointed Times

The legislated appointments of Wayyiqra 23 are all calculated from the New Moons. The “Jewish” festival dates do not always correspond with the New Moon calculated dates. In all cases the “Jewish” festivals and Sabbaths can be recognised by the candle lighting times indicated on the calendar.

Several other feasts are indicated in this calendar, such as the feast of Purim and Channukah.

Although these feasts are found in Scripture, they are not legislated in the Torah. We do however recommend that these festivals be observed in the interest of Scriptural awareness.

Other days of interest or “Jewish” holidays are also indicated, such as Tu’B’Shvat, Fast of Esther, Yom haAtzma’ut, Tisha B’Av, etc.

We have also indicated other dates of interest regarding the Land of Israel, as well as the regular New Zealand national and provincial public holidays.
