Yom Kippur

Deuteronomy 29:9–14, 30:11–20 (morning) and Leviticus 19:1-4, 9-18, 32-37 (afternoon)

Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year—the day on which we are closest to God and to the quintessence of our own souls. It is the Day of Atonement—“For on this day He will forgive you, to purify you, that you be cleansed from all your sins before God.” (Leviticus 16:30)

Rosh Hashanah

Rosh Hashanah - There came a time when god put Abraham to the test. "Abraham!" God said to him, and he answered: "Here I am." Then God said: "Take your son, your precious one ..." - (Genesis 22:1-19)

Simchat Torah

Simchat Torah (Hebrew: שִׂמְחַת תּוֹרָה, "Rejoicing of/[with the] Torah") is a Jewish holiday that celebrates and marks the conclusion of the annual cycle of public Torah readings, and the beginning of a new cycle. Simchat Torah follows immediately after the festival of Sukkot in the month of Tishrei.

Shabbat

"You may do work during the six weekdays, but the seventh day shall be holy for you. Do not ignite a fire in any of your dwelling-places on Shabbat day." (Exodus 35:2-3)

Passover

In the narrative of the Exodus, the Bible tells that God helped the Children of Israel escape from slavery in Egypt by inflicting ten plagues upon the ancient Egyptians before Pharaoh would release his Israelite slaves.

Passover is a spring festival which during the existence of the Jerusalem Temple was connected to the offering of the "first-fruits of the barley," barley being the first grain to ripen and to be harvested in the Land of Israel.

Sukkot

Sukkot has a double significance. The one mentioned in the Book of Exodus is agricultural in nature – "Feast of Ingathering at the year's end," (Exodus 34:22). It marks the end of the harvest time and thus of the agricultural year in the Land of Israel. The more elaborate religious significance from the Book of Leviticus is that of commemorating the Exodus and the dependence of the People of Israel on the will of God, (Leviticus 23:42-43).

Shavuot

Shavuot, one of the Three Pilgrimage Festivals, celebrates the revelation of the Five Books of the Torah by God to Moses and to the Israelites at Mount Sinai. This takes place 49 days (7 weeks) after the Exodus from Egypt. This passage also commemorates the wheat harvest in the Land of Israel and the culmination of the 49 days of the Counting of the Omer.
