It’s hard to believe another scriptural year has come and gone! Those of us who have been worshipping Yahweh for many years already know that the real new year does not happen in January as the world believes. But for the sake of all our new readers, here’s a quick overview. Yahweh’s new year begins in the spring when new life springs into action! Flowers begin blooming, days get sunnier and warmer, and the leaves on trees start sprouting. It is also the time for believers to prepare to keep Yahweh’s Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread. Many of you will be keeping these for the very first time. On page 4, you’ll find a super easy basic recipe for unleavened bread and other yummy recipes suitable to be eaten during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
Time to use up all your products that contain yeast, baking soda, and baking powder. For a more complete list of items to avoid, see our March YAIY News. Don’t buy anymore leavened products until after the days of unleavened bread are completed. Yes, this means ignoring good sales on bread at the store. Also, don’t stock up on these items beforehand or you’ll need to throw them away. Be careful to read labels at the store for items containing leavening. Avoid store-bought flour tortillas and use corn tortillas instead, or try making your own flour ones without leavening.
There are lots of foods you can eat during the days of unleavened bread. There is no need to feel deprived. Fruits, vegetables, rice, clean meats, poultry and fish (non-breaded, of course), eggs, pasta, rice, dairy products, and of course unleavened bread and crackers are all fine to eat during the Feast of Unleavened Bread
This is also a good time to “examine” ourselves as the Apostle Paul mentions in the New Testament. Passover is a time to renew our commitments to Yahshua. We do not want to partake of Passover unworthily. Are you actively overcoming sins in your life? Are you putting your relationship with Yahweh first? Are you becoming a better parent, spouse, and servant of Yahweh? Let’s think on these things. Happy new year!
