"The first day of the seventh month shall be a sacred holiday to you when you may not do any mundane work. It shall be a day of sounding the horn."Numbers) 29:1[/quote]

Can someone explain a bit more why it's celebrated for two days in Judaism? Based on what I know, it has something to do with the timing in the diaspora but I would like to understand more because it seems to me we can just do what G-d said. I'm planning out our school year and not sure I want to set aside two days because I don't understand exactly why that's being done.

I'm planning out our school year and not sure I want to set aside two days because I don't understand exactly why that's being done. The practice of celebrating for 2 days is almost exclusively done by the Orthodox in the Diaspora. Most Meshiachim only celebrate for one day, though as you know our practices vary wildly depending on the major influences on a particular Meshichi or synagogue. I've heard it is because of the time it took for signal fires to reach all the Jews in the Babylonian Diaspora, but really can't confirm that with a credible source. Our synagogue only celebrates one day. The main thing is it is a Shabbat, except you can cook. Somehow you must hear the rams horn blown, even if it is just from your computer. It's a commandment. It is customary to hear the shofar blown 100 times, but that is not a commandment. If you want to hear that done phenomenally well: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jR20-0sy1YAlso eat some apple slices dipped in honey. There are already write-ups here on the moed itself, so I won't reiterate the whole thing here. But it would be a good thing for us to start reviewing them now so we can properly prepare while we have time. As always, those of us in divided homes or doing this alone should just do as much as we can. Dan C

Thanks! I'll just listen to this with my kids unless it works out we can go somewhere. What is he saying between the blasts, if you don't mind explaining a bit more about what's going on to me.

He's telling you the name of the particular blast that is being played. There were three types of blast which are commanded to hear. But if doing the traditional 100 blast sequence then a fourth is added at the end: * tekiah, a 3 second sustained note * shevarim, three 1-second notes rising in tone * teruah, a series of @9 short, staccato notes over a period of @ 3 sec. * tekiah gedolah (big tekiah), the final blast in a set, which lasts @ 10 seconds. I'd better not try to tell you off the top of my head what each meant (I think it was a call to assembly, call to attention, and a call to arms, but ...). You could look it up online if you wanted to know. If you do, then help the senile (please ) and post it here. My mind is about fried right now. Dan C

Dan C From what I've read online Tekiah - a call to attention or repentance as it a call to listen to G-d Shevarim - "to break" or "cause danage" as in the camp; an alarm to move quickly Teruah - trembling sound representing repentant sorrow over recognizing your misconduct and that you need to change Tekiah gedolah - a final appeal to sincere repentance and atonement This is really cool cause it's like a call to salvation and I am thinking it might link to the shofar blasts in Revelation because I think the woes start at the fifth blast. I don't know maybe this has been thoroughly studied out on here already, or there's no connection. I only just now considered it. Nevertheless, it's a really cool and concise description of how G-d calls us to salvation.

Thanks! That helps.
Yes, this all ties into Revelation as the fall feasts are prophetic of the end times and the Olam Haba. Look at what has already been written on other threads on Rosh Hashana and I am pretty sure we've discussed it there.
