Renewal

Rosh Chodesh is the beginning of a new Biblical month heralded by the new moon. The renewing of the moon is a powerful symbol of renewal and restoration. It is a monthly reminder that we can start anew, begin again when things seem dark. Interestingly, the Rosh Chodesh celebration will have a place also in the world to come. Isaiah declares, ā€œAnd it shall come to pass that from one New Moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,ā€ (Isaiah 66:23). Celebrating its appearance is commanded together with the main Feasts of Passover, Pentecost and the Feast of Tabernacles. The name for all these special days is ā€˜moadim, appointed times, in other words, they are appointments with God. ā€œHe appointed the moon for seasonsā€¦ā€ says Psalm 104:19, and indeed it is the moon, the lunar calendar which dictates the dates each year of the appointed times. The new moon is acknowledged with blessings and psalms and wishing one another chodesh tov, a good month.


In Biblical days, both the ramā€™s horn, Psalm 81:3, and the silver trumpets were sounded to announce the moadim, including the new moon. Numbers 10:10. ā€œAlso in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.ā€

When the Israelites came before God, their offerings and sacrifices were expressions of commitment and repentance. They were a memorial, they ā€˜remindedā€™ the LORD of His covenant promises, His Divine word.

When we come before the LORD with repentant and committed hearts, we ask God to remember us as we claim His promises to hear our prayers.

Shabbat Shalom,

The Restoration of Israel

Israel today is a remarkable country. Yet the land of Israel was not always so fruitful. God promised that one day He would come and find His people, no matter how far they had been scattered, and return them to the land promised to Abraham and his descendants as an ā€œeverlasting possession.ā€
