"So you don't celebrate christmas?"

No, we don't celebrate christmas, easter, birthdays, halloween, mother's day, father's day or thanksgiving.  Our faith and our trust in our Heavenly Father Yahuah is what drove us to make these changes in our lives.

We keep the weekly Sabbath or Shabbat (which is Saturday) and the festivals of our Heavenly Father which are given to us in Leviticus 23 namely Passover, Matzah (Feast of Unleavened Bread), First Fruits, Shavu'ot (Pentecost), Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets) Yom Kippor (Day of Atonement) and Sukkot (Tabernacles). 

Rather than re-type or paste pages of others' information, I will post links to their articles.  We have learned so much from so many including: Lew White of Fossilized Customs; Walter Veith of Amazing Discoveries.  His Total Onslaught Series is fantastic; Avi Ben Mordechai of Millennium 7000.  His video and books on Galatians and understanding the Law are exceptional; Jim Staley of Passion for Truth Ministries. Jim's video presentation called Truth or Tradition is concise and informative. 

The following selection of articles may be informative reading for you.
