Yom Teruah, the Day of Shouting

I come to you, to be the  blue, the heart of all of man who sings.  We are a part of every heart who comes to know the blue.  Take my hand and walk with me. I will be with eternity. Don't you see the way of free, when love walks inside of me. 

Tell the world that we have come, to shout out loud to everyone. And I will sing for joy again, when I learn how to begin.  The song of love is destiny, the way of freedom that longs to be, and I can see the world of love, when you come home to be a dove.

I want to be like all the seeds, that planted glory in the world, and I will sing again for me, when G_ah_d comes home to bring the seeds.  The glory of living days in me, the song of love and liberty. I will be free to know the breeze, when I come home to shout, "It's me!"

Loving you, is where we go, to open shores for all to know, and I will be the love of me (remember you shouted, it's me, in other words you love me, because I am loved), when you come home to see the trees.  The love of you, comes in many packages, the gifts of G_ah_d will be so true, and I will have my heart to long, to be in love with you so long. 

Where do we go?  I truly don't know, but we must trust the world of love.  And when we shout, "glory be", then all will come home to destiny.  We don't do this or don't do that, because we don't think we are fact. But if we choose to love again, then all the facts are here to win.

Not you or me, but loving thee, the Oneness, the beloved tree.  And we can be the heart of me, when we come home to set them free.  Reach out, my friend choose family.  Take your heart and glow with thee.  And I will know the way to Gold, when you choose love, to be with me!

Yom Teruah
How the Day of Shouting Became Rosh Hashanah
by Nehemia Gordon

On the 1st day of the Seventh month (Tishrei) the Torah commands us to observe the holy day of Yom Teruah which means “Day of Shouting” (Lev 23:23-25; Nu 29:1-6). Yom Teruah is a day of rest on which work is forbidden. One of the unique things about Yom Teruah is that the Torah does not say what the purpose of this holy day is. The Torah gives at least one reason for all the other holy days and two reasons for some. The Feast of Matzot (Unleavened Bread) commemorates the Exodus from Egypt but it is also a celebration of the beginning of the barley harvest (Exodus 23:15; Lev 23:4–14). The Feast of Shavuot (Weeks) is a celebration of the wheat harvest (Ex 23:16; 34:22). Yom Ha-Kippurim is a national day of atonement as described in great detail in Leviticus 16. Finally the Feast of Sukkot (Booths) commemorates the wandering of the Israelites in the desert but it is also a celebration of the ingathering of agricultural produce (Ex 23:16). In contrast to all these Torah festivals, Yom Teruah has no clear purpose other than that we are commended to rest on this day.

The name of Yom Teruah may provide a clue as to its purpose. Teruah literally means to make a loud noise. This word can describe the noise made by a trumpet but it also describes the noise made by a large gathering of people shouting in unison (Nu 10:5–6). For example,

“And it shall come to pass when the ram’s horn makes a long blast, when you hear the sound of the shofar, the entire nation will shout a great shout, and the wall of the city shall fall in its place, and the people shall go up as one man against it.” (Joshua 6:5)

In this verse the word “shout” appears twice, once as the verb form of Teruah and a second time as the noun form of Teruah. Although this verse mentions the sound of the shofar (ram’s horn), the two instances of Teruah both refer to the shouting in unison of the Israelites which was followed by the fall of the walls of Jericho.

While the Torah does not explicitly tell us the purpose of Yom Teruah its name may indicate that it is intended as a day of public prayer. The verb form of Teruah often refers to the noise made by a gathering of the faithful calling out to the Almighty in unison. For example:

    *      “Clap hands, all nations, shout to God, with a singing voice!” (Ps 47:2)
    *      “Shout to God, all the earth!” (Ps 66:1)
    *      “Sing to God, our strength, shout to the God of Jacob!” (Ps 81:2)
    *      “Shout to YHVH, all the earth!” (Ps 100:1)

In Lev 23:24, Yom Teruah is also referred to as Zichron Teruah. The word Zichron is sometimes translated as “memorial” but this Hebrew word also has the meaning of “mentioning” often in reference to speaking the name of YHVH (e.g. Ex 3:15; Isa 12:4; ; 26:13; Ps 45:18). The day of Zichron Teruah, the “Mentioning Shout”, may refer to a day of gathering in public prayer in which the crowd of the faithful shouts the name of YHVH in unison.

Today few people remember the biblical name of Yom Teruah and instead it is widely known as "Rosh Hashanah" which literally means “head of the year” and hence also “New Years”. The transformation of Yom Teruah (Day of Shouting) into Rosh Hashanah (New Years) is the result of pagan Babylonian influence upon the Jewish nation. The first stage in the transformation was the adoption of the Babylonian month names. In the Torah the months are numbered as First Month, Second Month, Third Month, etc (Leviticus 23; Numbers 28). During their sojourn in Babylonia our ancestors began to use the pagan Babylonian month names, a fact readily admitted in the Talmud:

“The names of the months came up with them from Babylonia.” (Jerusalem Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 1:2 56d)

The pagan nature of the Babylonian month names is epitomized by the fourth month known as Tammuz. In the Babylonian religion Tammuz was the god of grain whose annual death and resurrection brought fertility to the world. In the book of Ezekiel, the prophet described a journey to Jerusalem in which he saw the Jewish women sitting in the Temple “weeping over Tammuz” (Ezekiel 8:14). The reason they were weeping over Tammuz is that according to Babylonian mythology Tammuz had been slain but had not yet been resurrected. In ancient Babylonia the time for weeping over Tammuz was the early summer, when the rains cease throughout the Middle East and green vegetation is burnt by the unrelenting sun. To this day the Fourth Month in the rabbinical calendar is known as the month of Tammuz and it is still a time for weeping and mourning.

Some of the Babylonian month names found their way into the later books of the Tanakh, but they always appear alongside the Torah month names. For example, Esther 3:7 says:

“In the First Month, which is the month of Nissan, in the twelfth year of King Achashverosh.”

This verse starts off by giving the Torah name for the month (“First Month”) and then translates this month into its pagan equivalent (“which is the month of Nissan”). By the time of Esther all the Jews lived within the boundaries of the Persian Empire and the Persians had adopted the Babylonian calendar for the civil administration of their Empire. At first the Jews used these Babylonian month names alongside the Torah month names but over time the Torah month names fell into disuse.

As the Jewish People became more comfortable with the Babylonian month names they became more susceptible to other Babylonian influences. This is similar to the way the American Jewish observance of Channukah has been influenced by Christmas. This influence began with the seemingly harmless custom of giving gifts on Channukah. Until the Jews arrived in America this custom was unknown and it is still a rarity in Israel where Channukah does not need to compete with Christmas for the hearts and minds of the Jewish youth. Once Channukah took on this relatively trivial aspect of Christmas it became ripe for more significant influences. Today many Jews have established the custom of setting up a “Channukah bush” as a Jewish alternative to the Christmas tree. These Jews did not want to adopt Christmas outright so they “Judaized” the Christmas tree and incorporated into Channukah. This example shows how easy it is to be influenced by the practices of a foreign religion, especially when there is some similarity to begin with. The fact that Channukah often falls out around the same time as Christmas made facilitated the American Jews in incorporating elements of Christmas into their observance of Channukah.

Just as the Jews of America have been influenced by Christmas the ancient Rabbis were influenced by the pagan Babylonian religion. Although many Jews returned to Judea when the Exile officially ended in 516 BCE, the forebears of the Rabbis remained behind in Babylonia where rabbinical Judaism gradually took shape. Many of the earliest known Rabbis such as Hillel I were born and educated in Babylonia. Indeed Babylonia remained the heartland of Rabbinical Judaism until the fall of the Gaonate in the 11th Century CE. The Babylonian Talmud abounds with the influences of Babylonian paganism. Indeed, pagan deities even appear in the Talmud recycled as genuine angels and demons.1

One field of Babylonian religious influence was in the observance of Yom Teruah as a New Years celebration. From very early times the Babylonians had a lunar-solar calendar very similar to the biblical calendar. The result was that Yom Teruah often fell out on the same day as the Babylonian New Years festival known as “Akitu”. Akitu fell out on the 1st day of Tishrei which coincided with Yom Teruah on the 1st day of the Seventh Month. The fact that the Jews had started calling the Seventh Month by the Babylonian name Tishrei paved the way for turning Yom Teruah into a Jewish Akitu. At the same time the Rabbis did not want to adopt Akitu outright so they Judaized it by changing the name of Yom Teruah (Day of Shouting) to Rosh Hashanah (New Years). The fact that the Torah did not give a reason for Yom Teruah no doubt made it easier for the Rabbis to proclaim it the Jewish New Years.

It may seem bizarre to celebrate Yom Teruah as New Years considering that it falls out on the first day of the Seventh Month, but in the context of the Babylonian culture this was perfectly natural. The Babylonians actually celebrated Akitu, New Years, twice every year, once on the first of Tishrei and again six months later on the first of Nissan. The first Babylonian Akitu celebration coincided with Yom Teruah and the second Akitu coincided with the actual New Years in the Torah on the first day of the First Month. While the Rabbis proclaimed Yom Teruah to be New Years they readily admitted that the 1st day of the “First Month” in the Torah was, as its name implied, also a New Years. They could hardly deny this based on Exodus 12:2 which says:

“This month shall be for you the beginning of months; it is first of the months of the year.”

The context of this verse speaks about the celebration of the Feast of Unleavened Bread which falls out in the First Month. In light of this verse the Rabbis could not deny that the first day of the First Month was a biblical New Years. But in the cultural context of Babylonia where Akitu was celebrated as New Years twice a year, it made perfect sense that Yom Teruah could be a second New Years even though it was in the Seventh Month.

In contrast to Babylonian paganism, the Torah does not say or imply that Yom Teruah has anything to do with New Years. On the contrary, the Feast of Sukkot (Booths) which takes place exactly two weeks after Yom Teruah is referred to in one verse as “the going out of the year” (Ex 23:16). No one would ever call January 15 in the modern Western calendar “the going out of the year” and the Torah would not describe Sukkot in this manner if it intended Yom Teruah to be celebrated as a New Years.

Some modern Rabbis have argued that Yom Teruah is actually referred to as Rosh Hashanah in Ezekiel 40:1 which describes a vision that the prophet had, “At the beginning of the year (Rosh Hashanah) on the tenth of the month”. The fact that Ezekiel 40:1 refers to the tenth day of the month proves that in this context Rosh Hashanah could not mean “New Years”. Instead it must retain its literal sense of “the head of the year” referring to the First Month in the Torah calendar. Therefore, the 10th day of Rosh Hashanah in Ezekiel 40:1 must refers to the 10th day of the First Month.

Yom Teruah is mentioned in the following biblical passages:

    *      Lev 23:23-25 "And YHVH spoke unto Moses saying, Speak to the Children of Israel saying, In the Seventh month on the first of the month will be a day of rest (Shabbaton) for you, a Remembrance Shouting, a holy convocation. You shall do no work and you will bring a fire sacrifice to YHVH."
    *      Nu 29:1-6 "And in the Seventh month on the first of the month will be a holy convocation for you; you shall do no work, it will be a Day of Shouting for you. [List of Sacrifices for Yom Teruah]."

Yom Teruah FAQ

Q: What about Leviticus 25:9?

A: Some people have argued that Yom Teruah should be considered New Years because it is the beginning of the Sabbatical year. However, the Torah does not say that Yom Teruah is the beginning of the Sabbatical year and all indications are that the Sabbatical year begins on the 1st day of the First Month. The Torah does say the following:

“And you shall pass a shofar of blasting in the Seventh Month on the tenth of the month; on the Day of Atonement you shall pass a shofar throughout all your land.” (Lev 25:9)

This verse is saying that a shofar should be used to announce the arrival of the Jubilee year, the 50th year in the Sabbatical system. It does not say that the Jubilee begins on the Day of Atonement only that the impending arrival of the Jubilee year is announced on the Day of Atonement. Indeed the shofar may be passed through the land on Yom Kippur of the 49th year, six months before the beginning of the coming Jubilee year. This interpretation is supported by the immediate context in Leviticus 25. Verse 8 says to count forty nine years, verse 9 says to pass the shofar throughout the land, and verse 10 says to proclaim the 50th year as the Jubilee. This shows that the shofar announcing the coming Jubilee in verse 9 is passed through the land before the Jubilee is actually proclaimed in verse 10.

Q: Isn’t the Seventh Month the beginning of the agricultural cycle?

A: In the Torah the middle of the Seventh Month is actually the end of the agriculture cycle, specifically of the grain cycle. In the Land of Israel, grains are planted in Autumn and harvested in Spring. The new agricultural cycle would not actually begin until the plowing of the fields. This would not take place until the first light rains which moisten the ground enough to be broken by iron and wooden plows. In the Land of Israel this could be as early as the middle of the Seventh Month but is usually in the Eighth Month or later. By the above logic the Eighth Month should be considered the beginning of the year, not the Seventh Month.

1 Zvi Cahn, The Rise of the Karaite Sect, New York 1937, pages 98–101. Cahn’s central thesis is that the refusal of rabbinical leaders to repudiate the deep-rooted Babylonian paganism that had infiltrated Babylonian Judaism led to the rise of the Karaite back-to-the-Bible movement in the early Middle Ages. In this context Cahn gives a detailed list of various pagan influences in rabbinical Judaism. http://www.karaite-korner.org/yom_teruah.shtml

Relatives,
We need remember when we shout, we sing our hearts.  We hold our emotions up to G_ah_d, the voice of heaven speaks.  In anger we let ourselves speak up, when at other times we would do nothing.  This is the joy of our hearts when we let it out.  But the most difficult time is when others won't let our hearts sing in tears and pain, for this release let us be free.  We are looking for validation to what went wrong.  When our hearts are embraced, then we can work things out.  But if we don't show anger or tears, then we refuse our heart, the very voice of heaven, the tears that flow to know the heart's message, that we need love.  


Listen and receive others in a time of solemn prayer  with loud and blasting of the shofar or just if we need our Voice to ring.  Let the bells of ringing, sow we can plant the seeds of freedom to the world.  We have come home, to the Soul that rings FREEDOM.  Let our pain be our guide to wisdom, not our demise to hell, the living suffering we seem to choose.  Let us choose this form to be a release of pain, and a renewal to resolve.  To listen to others who bring us pain and suffering.  To allow them to scream their agonies and for us to embrace them with love, and when it's all done.  Speak your heart too.  Then when we can receive our Brothers and Sisters, we can know freedom to negotiate and renegotiation to the world.


Let us belt our voices and ring freedom. In a time of prayer we learn to descend into peril and emerge anew.  Yom Teruah is our Heavenly Shouting where Angels sing just as we enter heaven, and as we depart to become anew, we sing to the glory of Oneness we call G_ah_d.  Let us renew the Cosmos and bring the Kings of Righteousness to their stations of humbleness where we kiss the dust, to arise into hope and inspiration. This is a time of creation and regeneration. Let us shout and be loud, for HEAVEN is coming home to the Rolling Hills in Evolution.  Welcome to the "DAWNING".

Horizon of the Whiteys, Jews, Semites, Native

Holiness David Running Eagle Shooting Star wanted me to tell you this story!

I was telling him that some day, the Native people will create a Head Dress for Him and it will be a Great Honor, the Big Chief who must hold the hands to his children, the Native People. As Holiness David is the Whitey on the Return Home, the Father Nation, the House of David, the beloved children of the eternal circle blesses and guides them toward love. The Red Nation is the Twin Child, therefore knowing the reflection or heart (blue, heaven) of another, is ordained to be the "keeper" of the relations. Like the way, I am Twin Deer Mother, my Earthly actions, the Red Nations are here to Twin your heart, to know what you need. And to provide you with comfort and guidance of the Red Road, the law of love. However, at the Horizon ordained at the Western Shore, they are the Eldest Souls who come to learn how to walk on the Earth again. They are the Star Children, who grew from the Dawning of Time. They speak the Star language, the language of Song. Singing is done from the heart, the blue road, the spirit that rides the breeze.

The tears that flow, know the show, to fetch a pail of water. And here they go, washing us white as snow, when they teach us which way to go!

The Blue is the relative you see in the reflection of thee. When we look at the waters down below, then they rise again, to be the sky again, and there we plan to go, as Warriors who show!

Window Washer Can't see my Way, when speaking in Song, will try to move along! That's the Star Language the Song of the Heart, where the Blue is me and you...

Now at the blue (heart, numinous heaven, knowing) road again! The one inside the Heart is one who moves in Heavens realm, the unseen or darkness or shadows of the land. This is the place where we dance in our Grace! As we enter the Body, the Red (flesh, blood, flowing) is the Realm of Lights (Earth Realm), where the laws of heaven is upon us. These twin hearted children, the Native bring the laws of Heaven to Earth, just like the Crystal Person, who brings the Laws of Heaven to the Earthly realm. It is the Native people who uphold the laws and bring sacred ceremony into the world of light (red road, the law of love that unites the soul with the flesh), where our hearts flow inside of us all, an unseen heaven, our Dreams!

When Holiness David walks with the Suns of Israel, then it will be different. Since they too are the Whiteys returning home, they will be Brothers. And as Brothers from the 12 Tribes of Jacob, we shall provide the Laws of Heaven, "as Keepers of the sacred texts" in order that the Children will have safe passageway into the Numinous Heaven when they depart from this realm of Lights, we call Earth. The Great Spirits have gifted the "Mathematical Perfection" which belong to the Suns of Israel, to offer them to the world, describing the Rainbow Colors and how Space is Arranged. This will offer the scientific world an explanation for all matter, whether light or dark. At the Eastern Shore is when we depart from this world and enter our Heavenly existence, until we come home again, to touch the Earthly Journey into the Lights.

AS more and more come home, "Suns of Israel" to receive the "Mathematical Perfection" we will be closer to having truth and knowledge of evolution.
Ordination of the "Keepers of the Written Laws", Suns of Israel, their commander is Great Spirit Father. We shall have the Colors of the Rainbow for all the world and the knowledge how to transverse from Realms, from see to shining sea.

Ordination of the "Rainbow Warriors as Keepers of the Physical Laws", the Semites. Ismael, Eldest Son of Noah (father Jew or white skin, mother dark skin. Jews often did not recognize the darkness, especially Dark Skinned Mothers, as we were not ready, now evolution has made us ready, both father and son). Ismael who bore 12 Chiefs, the Rainbow Number of MOTHER and her mighty Colors, that offer us Eternal life, the one before the two, before division of the blue (heart) and red (flesh) roads, brings the laws of heaven, their Commander is Great Spirit Uncle, which is really Great Great Spirit Mother, the only Crown in Heaven, the one before the two, where arrangement of the garden is assured! They are the Commanders in chief for the Native American army, the Semitic Jews. The Red Man is the fiercest in all the land, Dog Soldiers and Soul Elders but need Guidance in the World of Oneness in the Light. The Semites must guide their children, the Native peoples, as the Whiteys, returning home, as "Rainbow Warriors of Prophecy and Keepers of the Physical Laws, the "Commander in Chief for the Royal Army from Heaven". Therefore God has provided the answers ! Hebrews, Arabs, Assyrians, Phoenicians, Akkadian, Aramaic, Ethiopic, etc. in other words, all Arabs descending from Ismael are Jews, who have Jewish Father, now I realize that many Jews think that they need descend from Mother's side, but it is Mother's Laws they carry in their heart. And as Jews are Descendants of Fathers who walk in the Light, as they are directed by Great Spirit Father. Who has handed laws to the people always through a Crystal Person, who offered absolute truth of the Heavenly Laws. The Semitic Jews offer us absolution, the oneness of Mother's land, for all belongs to Great Spirit Mother. Her body and her heart, is where I stand. Father gifts me the fire's light to defend her throughout the land! And the children will be liberty for we shall set them all free...

Now a Song from the Heart of our Semitic Relatives!

Come this day, we know the way, just open door and learn to pray. When you look up remember the heart, the pure insight the light inside. And when we pray every day, we learn to walk in living prayer. Here is the way, to live this day, when so many have lost their way. I want you to know that all lives in my heart, just want you to know, when will it all start?. I want to be all that God gives to me. I know inside is the living flow. There I will wait until I am called, when God comes rushing inside to find, my heart that knows when to Charge. We are the blue of loving you, we are the royal blue of you and when we dance and sing all day, we long to hold your hand today. We'll defend the land every way. We'll be servant, you depend, each day. We'll be the love that you longed for, just open the heart inside there is a door. We wait for you, when you come home, then we will be here to set you free. And when this time, comes home to me. I will be the loving breeze. I know you don't understand me. I believe in all the leaves (relatives) and I wait for you to know, the love that God has, for we are here to give you the Heart. We are here to give you a Heart. Heaven has come home, wait and see, the laws of Mother will be glory be. We will finally find respite from all the disease. We will be One big family. We will be One family!

AS the Semitics are the female or darkness not recognized in the second phase of evolution,now bring the law of Mother home, defending the land with the last breath. Now the Suns of Israel are the male of lightness who have been recognized in the second phase of evolution, now will continue to carry the laws of g_ah_d. Male, Suns of Israel, carry law and hold the tongue (perspective mother Jew), Female, Semitic enforce law at the highest courts of Heaven (perspective father Jew). Both of these make the One before the Two, meaning there is no Division! We are one family, both from the White Nation, Whiteys from Heaven returning home to take care of the Mother (black/blue) and children (yellow and red). Ordained at the Eastern Shore.

Holiness David shall deliver us home, the four colors of the Rainbow clan, the children of Oneness, the related of God, the transmission of the heart and now, Heaven has come home to us! He shall teach his Brothers to take care of their Children once more, and then the Children will take care of their parents once again. The Return of the Rainbow Warriors is a Prophecy written many ways, in many cultures. For the Glory of the Rolling Hills in time is called Evolution. The Clock ticks and we enter the next third yellow hill in time, 2013. We are preparing for the Returning Warriors. Are you ready? The Dawning is upon us...the Brotherhood, where all is paved Gold.
