Why a week long feast at FoU & Tab.?

[Yochanah]

Shalom,
Why were we given a whole week to observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread and again the Feast of Tabernacles? Was this time to be spent as any other time of the year or is it more for use as special campmeetings for learning, witnessing, charity work and fellowship? And how have you (anyone) celebrated them? I would like to know. Any insights as how the Disciples celebrated them?
Ahava,
Yochanah

It is something that is celebrated all week long, but the holy convocations typically only take place when they are commanded in the . The first, and last days are Shabbats. The rest of the week we are to be working. But again, even during our regular working days we are to be in celebration during this set-apart time. I would be happy to go to into more detail of how I, and others celebrate these feast times in the forum section labeled "Moedim".

B'Shem Yeshua,

Reuel

Thank you, Brother Reuel. I didn't see the Moedim section and this section is for general discussion so I posted my question here.
I'll move to the Moedim section...
