After the long summer the fall feasts arrive (September/October). The season begins with Yom Teruah (the blowing of the shofar) announcing the days of awe (a time of repentance and solemn reflection in anticipation of Yom Kippur ten days later. The community gathers for Yom Kippur to repent of sin as a community and as individuals. This is a time of healing with the restoration of relationships.

Finally, the solemnity of Yom Kippur gives way to joy as we celebrate the Feast of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) five days later. As specified in the Torah we put together Sukkahs (booths) at home and at the Congregation building. We eat some of our meals there. The celebration goes on for eight days with a special Sabbath at the beginning and at the end. We have in the past rented a local retreat facility for the community to observe the feast together.

The prophetic aspect of the fall feasts depicts the second coming of Messiah to judge the nations and establish His earthly kingdom. Sukkot symbolizes God dwelling among His people as he did in times of old with the Tabernacle in the wilderness.
