Christian Education with Rabbi Hallbrook
September is often a very significant month on the biblical calendar (especially the Hebrew calendar), because several of God’s appointed feasts (holy days) fall during this time. These days are deeply meaningful both to Judaism and to Christians who study biblical prophecy and symbolism.

Here’s the overview of the upcoming Christian Education class for major holy days in September (though dates shift slightly each year because they follow the Hebrew lunar calendar):
🍇 The Fall Feasts of the Lord (Leviticus 23)
1. Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah / Yom Teruah)
Usually in September (1st day of the 7th Hebrew month, Tishrei).
Jewish significance: Marks the Jewish New Year, a time of reflection, repentance, and renewal. The shofar (ram’s horn) is blown as a spiritual wake-up call.
Christian significance: Many see it as pointing to the return of Christ, heralded by the “last trumpet” (1 Thessalonians 4:16, 1 Corinthians 15:52). It represents awakening and preparation.
2. Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur)
10th day of Tishrei (usually mid–late September).
Jewish significance: The holiest day of the year—marked by fasting, prayer, and repentance. In the Old Testament, the High Priest entered the Holy of Holies to make atonement for the nation (Leviticus 16).
Christian significance: Symbolizes Jesus’ atoning sacrifice on the cross. Prophetically, it points to the final judgment and the ultimate reconciliation of God with His people (Hebrews 9:11–14).
3. Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot / Feast of Booths)
15th–21st of Tishrei (usually late September into October).
Jewish significance: A weeklong celebration remembering how God provided for Israel in the wilderness, living in tents/booths. It’s a joyful harvest festival, filled with thanksgiving.
Christian significance: Points to God dwelling with His people (John 1:14 – “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us”). Prophetically, it looks forward to the future kingdom of God where Christ reigns and God dwells with man (Revelation 21:3).
✨ The Bigger Picture
These feasts follow the spring holy days (Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Pentecost), which Christians believe were fulfilled in Jesus’ first coming (death, resurrection, sending of the Holy Spirit).
The fall feasts in September are often seen as foreshadowing events yet to come: Christ’s return (Trumpets), judgment/atonement (Yom Kippur), and the establishment of God’s eternal kingdom (Tabernacles).
👉 In short: The holy days in September are significant because they remind us of repentance, renewal, God’s forgiveness, and His promise to dwell with His people forever.
