3. The Feast of Unleavened Bread/ „Hag HaMatsot:
The Feast of Unleavened Bread is a 7 days festival that
begins with the Passover of The Everlasting. Leviticus
23:6-7 (yc) tells us: "6 And on the fifteenth day of the
same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread ('hag
hamatsot) to the Everlasting; seven days you must eat
unleavened bread. 7 On the first day you shall have a
holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on
it.
Thus, for 7 days, the children of Israel couldn‘t eat
bread with leaven. Having understood the importance of
this Feast, all Jews teach their children every year to
bring out of the house everything that is made with
leaven: bread, rusks, brioches, pasta, etc... In fact,
parents learn to their children to hunt all that is bad not
only of their house but also and especially, to drive out
of their heart what is bad according to the Scriptures.
Indeed, as Polos (Paul) tells to believers of the city of
Corinth: leaven is the symbol of malice and wickedness
(1Corinthians 5:7-8).
Polos (Paul) then encourages the believers of Corinth
and also believers from the nations to celebrate the
Passover of The Everlasting without malice or
wickedness during the 7 days of the Feast ...
It‘s, in fact, like a "practical internship" to better
understand the spiritual issues and learn to bear better
fruits. Our reference is Christ Yeshua Himself. In his
image, we must learn to walk on the earth as He walked.
We will notice that according to the will of The
Everlasting the first and the seventh day of this Feast
must be holidays dedicated to The Everlasting...
shall eat neither bread nor parched grain nor fresh grain

4. The Feast of Firstfruits/ „Hag haBikurim or the
Feast of the Resurrection:
The Feast of Firstfruits is a Feast of The Everlasting who
announces the New Israel gathered around Christ, the
Messiah of Israel. This feast prefigures the new creation
of The Everlasting, our God for his glory and the One
whom he has sent. Let‘s examine a little bit what is
written in Leviticus 23:10-14 (yc): «10 Speak to the
children of Israel, and say to them: „When you come
into the land which I give to you, and reap its harvest,
then you shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your
harvest to the priest. 11 He shall wave the sheaf
before The Everlasting, to be accepted on your behalf;
on the day after the Shabbat the priest shall wave
it. 12 And you shall offer on that day, when you wave
the sheaf, a male lamb of the first year, without
blemish, as a burnt offering to The Everlasting. 13 Its
grain offering shall betwo-tenths of an ephah of fine
flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to
The Everlasting, for a sweet aroma; and its drink
offering shall be of wine, one-fourth of a hin. 14 You
until the same day that you have brought an offering to
your God; it shall be a statute forever throughout your
generations in all your dwellings. »

In the year of his death, Yeshua celebrated the Passover
meal with his disciples on a Tuesday night as the Qumran
believers did at the time.
That year, the Pharisees and Sadducees traditional
Jewish Passover, was held on a Thursday and their
Passover meal was to be held on Wednesday evening, a
day later. The lambs were to be offered as a sacrifice to
the Temple in the afternoon of that Wednesday before
the Feast began at nightfall. The sacrifices began around
4pm. That‘s why, on that day, Yeshua was the first
Lamb offered to The Everlasting: He died at 3pm tells us
the Scriptures (Luke 23:44).
It‘s indeed, the only configuration of the week that
allows us to confirm all the verses that speak of the
death and resurrection of Yeshua. Yeshua did indeed
spend three nights and three days in the earth (Matthew
