From Shofar to Sukkah:
Proclaiming Yeshua and Blessing Israel during the Fall Feasts

As we approach the Fall Feasts of Israel, our hearts are filled with both joy and urgency. These are not just dates on a calendar; they are divine appointments—moments when heaven and earth meet in a special way.

The Feast of Trumpets (Rosh HaShanah) and the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) carry deep biblical significance. They remind us of God’s faithfulness to Israel in the past, point us prophetically to His plans for the future, and call us as believers to shine His light in the present.

For us at Beit Hallel, this season is also a sacred opportunity to proclaim the Gospel, bless families in need, and reveal the hope of Yeshua in this prophetic hour.

Evangelism During the Feasts

This year, we are preparing two major evangelism events during Rosh HaShanah and Sukkot, reaching between 700–800 Israelis with the life-changing message of salvation. These gatherings are more than meetings—they are holy moments where the Word of God is preached, worship rises from the heart of Israel, and lives are eternally transformed.

The feasts themselves speak prophetically of the Messiah. The sounding of the shofar during the Feast of Trumpets is a call to repentance, a wake-up cry that points to the soon return of Yeshua, our Redeemer. The Feast of Tabernacles reminds us of God’s longing to dwell with His people and the glorious hope of His Kingdom established among us.

At a time when Israel is facing so much uncertainty—social unrest, financial strain, and the ever-present threat of conflict—hearts are searching for answers. People are longing for truth, for stability, for hope that cannot be shaken. That is why these evangelistic events are so vital.

Sponsoring even one Israeli for $70 opens the door for them to come, to hear the Gospel, to encounter God’s presence, to enjoy a meal together, to see the nearby Biblical sites, and to step into a new life of faith. Imagine the ripple effect if hundreds respond to this invitation—families restored, hearts healed, and the name of Yeshua exalted in this land.

Blessing Families With Food Baskets

In addition, we are also preparing to bless hundreds of new immigrant families (Olim) with food baskets during the High Holy Days. These families arrive in Israel with great hope, but often also with great struggle—navigating a new culture, a new language, and financial hardship. The feasts, which should be times of joy and celebration, can feel like yet another burden for those who have so little.

That’s where we step in. Each food basket costs just $50 and is filled with essentials that allow families to celebrate properly, to sit at their tables with dignity, and to rejoice in God’s goodness during this holy season.

But the baskets are more than food. Each one carries a message that speaks louder than words: “You are not forgotten. You are seen. You are loved. God Himself is your provider.” We have witnessed tears of relief, smiles of gratitude, and hearts opening to the Gospel simply because someone showed them love in such a practical way.

A Prophetic Season of Hope

The Bible promises us:

“At that time they will call Jerusalem The Throne of the Lord, and all nations will gather in Jerusalem to honor the name of the Lord.” 

Jeremiah 3:17

Every feast is a glimpse of that promise being fulfilled. Every act of kindness, every prayer, every food basket, and every Gospel message preached is part of preparing the way for that great day.

Stand With Us This Season

This is your opportunity to take part in what God is doing right now in Israel:

  • $70 sponsors one Israeli to attend an evangelism event and encounter the Good News.
  • $50 provides a food basket for an Olim family during the High Holy Days.

Together, we can bless Israel in both word and deed—proclaiming the Gospel in the Land and placing food on the tables of immigrant families across the nation.

As the shofar sounds and the Feast of Tabernacles draws near, let us rise to this prophetic moment. Let us make this a true Season of Hope for the people of Israel—so that hearts are awakened, families are blessed, and the light of Yeshua shines brighter than ever in this land.
