Yeshua’s final instruction to his followers was to “go and make disciples.” As Christ followers, this is a life-long process and not a final destination. We are on a journey to grow stronger and go deeper in our relationship with him, and groups guide us along the path throughout this journey.

Portion Summary

Five days after the Day of Atonement, the Festival of Booths begins. The festival starts with a yom tov Sabbath on the fifteenth day of the seventh month and continues for seven days. The Hebrew name of the festival is Sukkot, a word often translated into English as “tabernacles” or “booths.” The name is derived from the commandment that requires Jewish people to dwell in temporary shelters for the duration of the festival as a reminder of the post-exodus years when Israel lived in huts and booths in the wilderness.
