The feasts have brought our family such a rich and deeper understanding of just who are Messiah truly is. The feast days all point to Him and we can’t express how grateful we are for Yahweh placing them in our midst. We get very excited to celebrate our Messiah thru the feast days. Study and fellowship with other believers has gone from milk to meat, from mediocre to a fullness we’ve never experienced before.
I love seeing my kids excitement as the feasts draw near and hear them recount memories from past feasts. makes me feel so blessed that we are no longer planning holidays to please people but planning HOLY days to please the Most High!
Would love to win this! Thank you!
This is a new idea for me, but I am sure that I will learn to love Him more as I understand His Word, including the Feasts. =)
So excited to be a part of this community. Looking forward to the helpful ideas and lessons that come from it.
For our family the hope is to teach by doing, the Feast of Adonai, are high points of our calendar.
Oh this looks like a lot of fun!
This is our first year of celebrating YHVH’s feasts and I have so much to learn. I am looking for any materials that I can to help me to impart this information to my kids.
I’d love to win this! Learning about the feasts has increased our understanding of YHWH, and studying culture and geography has made the Torah come alive!
Celebrating the feasts adds so much more to our life in Messiah
We have learned that everything deals with the feasts of yhwh. The more we dig the more we find connections
I’ve only been Torah observant for under a year, so I’m as new to the Feasts as my children are. But trying to help the children understand has helped me as well to understand, since I feel like a child when it comes to Torah… I am so new!
I love that even though we’ve kept the Feasts for a few years now, we learn something new each time. I love how the Father reveals things to us each time we study and read the Word. 🙂
This is something that I have been looking for. Really want to teach my kids about the Lord’s feast not holidays of man.
I’m excited to teach and follow the feasts this year.
This looks great! Glad to be a part.
So very excited about this curriculum and it’s potential for our family and TO community!
I don’t know much about YHWY’s appointed feasts. That’s why I’d like to win this book- to learn about them!
So excited about this giveaway! Home school mom’s dream!
This looks like an amazing book. I am fairly new to this Torah-observent life. This book would be a lesson for my whole family. 52 weeks of lesson plans!!! Sounds Amazing!!!!
We have actually not succeeded in pulling off the Biblical holidays celebration, but we hope to this year!!
Learning that the Feasts point to the Messiah has strengthened my faith in the veracity of the Word. I always believed it to be true, but seeing new dots to connect has refreshened my walk with Him and I am so thankful.
We are still learning from the Feasts at this point. Learning to celebrate without anxiety and teach our children who YHWH is and what He has and will do. We don’t claim to understand but it is a beautiful time and as we learn about the covenants, we understand more and more.
We are just starting to learn about the feasts. But it has definitely been beneficial to me personally to understanding God more fully.
What an awesome book! Love to win!
I would love to learn more, this looks perfect!
Teaching about the feasts and keeping them with our children has added meaning to our faith and helped me understand so much more.
My love for HIM grows more everyday, especially when I think of how HE has blessed me with 4 amazing children. Teaching them HIS word and pleasing HIM is my heart’s desire!
It is far easier for my children to learn about the life of Yeshua when presented in the form of biblical feasts and how He celebrated and fulfilled them?
It’s nice to see the kids begin to understand the importance of His feasts and what they foreshadow. His showing us the truth so I can share it with my kids allows me to see His love even more.
Teaching our children about the feasts of YHVH has increased our awareness of his love for us, that He desires to spend time with us,and wants us to be on His time table, year after year our Love grows for Him and all His ways.
I am learning so much as I teach my daughters! I did not grow up learning about God’s feast days at all! One thing that I have discovered is that God hates being worshiped the way pagan gods are worshiped and therefore we make no attempt to “christianize” pagan festivals. At first it was a struggle, but knowing that our Father wants our whole selves, including what traditions we have been handed, to be turned over to Him and instead to do things His way- it has made it so refreshing to worship Him and see His providence in it all!
It’s been such an incredible blessing to see how my children’s hearts are open to YHVH and His word, His feasts, His ways…it has strengthened my faith immensely.
Teaching our children year after year gives me better perspective on how our heavenly Father is trying to teach us.
I have three children that I would really like to have them started on learning the Lord’s wonderful word.
lol that wasn’t supposed to be a question mark — my son came in and I asked him a question while I was writing and I used the conversation punctuation lol
Looks awesome!
This looks really interesting. Looking forward to learning more about it.
When I learned in 2004 or so that the seven main feasts, fasts, and festivals, it was as though I found the missing piece to a puzzle. I had learned them and their traditions through my parents, but this was such an eye-opening blessing. We have taught our children from little up and been blessed in doing so *_*
I agree with some of the others – I haven’t done a good job with this and would love to win this resource, I’m sure my entire family would be blessed by being drawn together studying His word.
Looks like a wonderful book! So glad you are sharing these resources with us.
Our family has been following Torah for about 9 years and we love to celebrate the Feast Days. Each year, we do each one a little different, add a new element, something. Our favorite is Sukkot. Getting an idea how the Hebrews lived in the wilderness. But more importantly, seeing our Messiah in it all. His birth and His second coming as we get to have the marriage supper and live with Him! It’s AWESOME!
Learning about the Feasts has given our whole family a more intimate relationship with our Savior. 🙂 It was the Feasts that led me to learn more about Torah. I look forward to continuing to learn more!
We are signing up for this site, it is exactly what our family has been looking for!
It has shown us that YHWH teaches us in the same way we teach our children which gives us a greater appreciation for who He is and what He has done. It has brought meaning and a deeper connection between each person in our family and our Creator. I love the thread it draws from the past to the future and the significance of learning our history as well as rehearsing for our future.
Looking forward to these with my grandchildren!!
We’re just about to start homeschooling our oldest going into kindergarten. Looking forward to learning more about what you’ve put together!
Teaching my children has helped me learn more right along with them. When I need to make changes from what we (mis)understood previously, they see me/us setting that example and follow along. So we learn together and they are accountability!
Since we have been doing the feasts, I feel like our relationship with YHWH has definitely grown! It’s amazing when you go through the feasts and you can relate every moment to how it is fulfilled in Yeshua. Passover, for one, carries a much more deeper meaning than the “other holiday” ever did. I definitely feel like we have learned more about our Creator through the feasts.
Simply stated Easter eggs had no relevance to why we celebrated the resurrection, but studying Passover tells us of our Redemption. By studying Yahweh’s feast we can easily relate biblical stories into a reality with our children.
We’re just about to start homeschooling our oldest going into kindergarten.
Our family has been learning about our Father’s feasts, and this past year we have even participated in them to the very best of our ability! What blessings they have been for us!
I love to show my kids the way YHVHs plan works through all the feasts.
our family has be celebrating the fests for many years. I have homeschooled my children with our school year revolving around the Biblical calendar for many years now. Its so much a part of our life. We love that our celebrations are Messiah centered. Even though we have done this for years we are always learning more. Our family is growing through adoption and I will be starting three more little ones in the festivals would love to have new insights and ideas.
Would love to read this book for our homeschooling
Teaching children makes me have to go back to the basics of the Moedim and reminds me of why I got into Torah observance in the first place. Praise Yeshua!
This might be the give-away item that I am most excited about! I would love to have the opportunity to incorporate this into our homeschool classroom. I didn’t know such a thing existed!!!
Teaching the kids always teaches me!
I am SUCH a fan of Wholesome Learning! We already use so much of her curriculum and is it wonderful. This would be incredible to have!
This looks like a greatbcurriculum for guiding my LO into loving YHWHs feasts as we do!!
The past two years have been incredible. We have kept the feasts and enjoyed doing them. To have this would extend our knowledge on what YAhua expects of us as His beloved children. His Feasts are His appointed times and doing them gives Him great pleasure as we obey Him. One of our favorite feasts is Sukkot. Building our structure from scratch, inviting brothers and sister, reading scriptures and feasting is so relaxing and relying on Him completely.
Seeing these things through the eyes of a child just make them so precious…listening to my 5 year old granddaughter talk about pharaoh and why he would not listen to Moshe ..and the price that he paid…
Seeing her excitement mount as Sukkot draws near…she enjoys it more that christmas…LOL!
The pictures of His love in the feasts are amazing! This causes me to love Him more.
As I began to study the feasts and how they present Yah’s plan of redemption, reconciliation, restoration, and salvation so I could share these truths with my children my view of our Abba was radically transformed. I was finally able to see how all the pieces fit together and begin to comprehend just how deep, how wide, how great our Abba’s love is for His children. This is the first time I’ve seen the Family Feast Bible and it looks like it would be a wonderful resource to add to our collection.
Our children love learning about YHVH’s ways through the Feasts because it is special family time together! We try to exemplify His love to our children and teach them how to show their love to Him. They know that these are the special times of meeting given by YHVH as rehearsals and I know that through the Sabbaths and Holy Days He will continue to teach us to be set apart for Him.
Celebrating the Feasts and Shabbat with our children has completely transformed our faith. It simply amazes me how they give testament to the father’s loving plan for our redemption from the very beginning.
Shalom! Our family would be blessed to have this great book!
What a deep desire which has been awakened in our children, the 3 still at home in school and our adult children and their spouses, since we have totally embraced observing the Torah. Our journey began over 20 years ago and only in the last 2 years has so much been revealed. We are loving every day of this journey as we grow closer and closer to Yahweh through His Word and the the Ruach. Thanks for developing such a curriculum and website. Shalom and blessings…
I realized I didn’t really answer as you asked. Learning the feasts has helped me love Yahweh more as I see how perfectly he designed them for us to know him and celebrate the family he’s creating. I still struggle having come out of the glitz and glamor of the “Christian holidays” and especially desire to have the feasts be real, fulfilling and fun for my children with the pull of Christmas and Easter are put in perspective.
We started keeping Passover last year, and just this year began observing Shavuot, I’m excited about the Fall feasts. This would be a resourceful tool to help us on our journey! thank you.
We started keeping the Shabbat when my little girl was 18 mos. Since we wanted to keep the commandments and have her grow up in home where that was the focus and lifestyle, that has been the focus of our weeks. She helps me prepare and we look forward to resting together as a family. This has helped me to be mindful of the Father and what he wants for my life.
This book would be such a blessing to my family. We are learning together to obey His commandments & keep His feasts. This would be an wonderful tool for us. We have been so blessed & are so grateful His hand is on our family! 🙂
Yeshua is in the feasts! I always tell my kids that Sukkot is my favorite feast. They know that I look forward to the time in the future where Sukkot is spent with HIM! I love that time of fellowship and learning! We have so much to look forward to!
Studying the instructions for the Feasts has painted a very tangible picture of what fellowship with the Bridegroom means, and how intimately He wants us to be with Him. I’ve learned a great deal about His character, and His role as the Living Torah. I am learning how to conduct myself in the Court of the Great King, and how amazing it is to be invited into His court so regularly — I mean, have you ever counted up how many “dates” per year He has prearranged to celebrate with His Bride each year? Woot! So about the Messiah Yeshua, I have learned most of all how much He LOVES and PURSUES me.
What is the grade level of the books readers?
The feasts is a shadow picture of whats to come.
Following YHWH’s feasts puts everything in perspective and its exciting each time a feast draws near.
I cant wait for my son to grow and get excited to. He just turned two and asks all week long when Shabbat is coming.. 🙂
that’s the best part seeing your children get excited!
