Shalom

As you may know, I love times of refreshing, reboot, and renewal. 🌱 That’s why I get so excited about Rosh Hashanah—it’s like God’s built-in reset button!

Rosh Hashanah, also called the Feast of Trumpets, kicks off all the fall celebrations we find in Scripture. It’s short—just two days long—but oh, it’s packed with meaning! The name itself literally means “Head of the Year” because it marks the biblical New Year.

In Leviticus 23:23-24, God told His people to set aside this day as sacred and to celebrate with the blast of trumpets.

“On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of rest, a sacred assembly commemorated with trumpet blasts.”

For us as believers, this is a time to:

Pause and look back at how God’s been faithful this past year. 🙌
Reset our hearts and lives—repenting and realigning with Him. (Psalm 139:23-24)
Look ahead with excitement, because one day, the final trumpet will sound when Jesus returns! (1 Thessalonians 4:16) 🎺✨

So how do we celebrate?

You don’t have to be super traditional. This is about meaning, not rules. Here are a few simple, fun ways to bring this to life:

Make some noise! 🎶 Sound a shofar if you have one, or just play worship music that lifts your heart to Him.
Gather around the table. Share a simple meal with family or friends. Apples dipped in honey are a favorite—they symbolize a prayer for a sweet and fruitful new year. 🍎🍯 Here’s one of my special treat recipes to celebrate with: Apple Pie French Toast—a cozy, delicious way to enjoy this tradition! 🥞🍏
Spend a few minutes with God. Thank Him for the past year, release anything heavy you’ve been carrying, and ask Him to prepare you for what’s ahead.

This two-day feast may seem small, but it’s HUGE in meaning—a beautiful reminder that God loves fresh starts. Every new season is another chance to step closer to Him, to grow, and to shine His light. ✨ That’s exactly why I created a FREE Celebrate Jesus Course, Celebrate the Feasts of the Lord — The Biblical Feasts. In it, you’ll discover what the feasts are, why they matter, and fun, simple ways to celebrate with recipes, teachings, and creative ideas to make each feast meaningful.

As you step into Rosh Hashanah this year, my prayer is that you feel renewed and ready for all God has planned in this next season of your life.
