The Basic Feasts and Orders

[James and Terry Hamilton]

---

There are six orders The Mishna consists of six orders (sedarim). This explains the traditional name for the Talmud as 'Shas'. 'Shas' is simply an abbreviation of shishah sedarim, six orders'.
Each of the six orders
contains between 7 and 12 tractates, called 'masekhot'.
Each masekhot
is divided into smaller units called 'mishnayot'.

Zeraim ("Seeds"), dealing with prayer and blessings, tithes and agricultural laws (11 tractates)
Moed ("Festival"), pertaining to the laws of the Sabbath and the Festivals (12 tractates)
Nashim ("Women"), concerning marriage and divorce, some forms of oaths and the laws of the nazirite (7 tractates)
Nezikin ("Damages"), dealing with civil and criminal law, the functioning of the courts and oaths (10 tractates)
Kodashim ("Holy things"), regarding sacrificial rites, the Temple, and the dietary laws (11 tractates) and
Tohorot ("Purities"), pertaining to the laws of purity and impurity, including the impurity of the dead, the laws of ritual purity for the priests (Kohanim), the laws of "family purity" (the menstrual laws) and others (12 tractates).
In each order (with the exception of Zeraim), tractates are arranged from biggest (in number of chapters) to smallest.
Simply
Zeraim="Seeds"
Moed="Festivals days"
Nashim="Women"
Nezikin "Damages"
Kodashim="Holy things"
Tohorot="Purity" which deals with much of the Levite priesthood. It is still one of the most important teachings in the Yeshiva even in this day for within its foundation are helpful ways in which the right image of G-d in and through you will come forth as the Shekinah for Ha'shem's glorification....Purity' keep this in mind.

There are seven Noahide laws given to all humanity

Full writing here for you who are students Bring a notepad

If afterwords you think you do not have a part in this world and an personal obedience factor that you have to fulfill in this mission for your place in the world to come. We need to do a serious study together... always remember in the Eyes of YAH martyrdom is high ranking...Unless of course you are still in the misconstruction of the 'Imperial Church of Rome' and the JC rapture escapism theology.
Hopefully you are well on your way to becoming the 'Full Stature' of a man for YAHweh and I am writing to mature men/servants of Ha'Shem

Rav. Hillel referenced this
"When you find no man then become the man"
I take it from there to mean:
"When you can find no man of YAHweh then Become a Man of YAHweH"

Read Akiba~Scholar, Saint and martyr {@ Amazon.com]...by Louis Finkelstein this book fills in a tremendous amount of details regarding historical truth and the sustaining Faith of the Rabbis.

And there are Seven festivals unto the Master Creator:
They are in order of importance and scheduling of seasons.

Passover the first of the Seven high holy days.
Exodus 12:v1-14~Lev 23:v5 Deverim 16:v1

Feast of Pentecost or Shavout means weeks. E.G. Seven weeks or 50 days after Passover.
Lev:23:v16 ~Exodus 23:v15-21

Yom Kippur=Day of Atonement / Day of covering like the cover upon the Ark. It covers up the treasures of G-d, You His obedient servant are covered. ..YAHweh can never leave you or forsake you because He is in you and through you He is your life breath, Just as you are Him.
Lev:16:29-34, 23:v26-32

Feast of Tabernacles also known as Sukkot or Booths this is really the last of the seven biblical/ mandated celebrations
Lev:v23-44 ~Deverim 16:v13-15 ~Zech 14:16-19

Others are
Feast of unleavened Bread
Exodus 12:v15-20,39~Lev. 26:6-8

Feast of Dedication/ Hanukkah or better known as the Festival of lights and that story you can read in the Apocrypha books of Maccabees.

Feast of trumpets (The sounding of the Shofar)
Lev. 23:v23-25 ~ Num.10:9-10, 29:1

Not on the main list,.. is the Feast of first fruits
Lev.23:9-14

Also Purim the story of Ester or hadassah where we celebrate the victory over the Evil Haman and the Victory for the Hebrew children. Also known as a time to give charity to those in need, that is why every observant home practices Tzadekah

Regardless of where you are at on your forty two journeys in this wilderness called life
You have to know that you are part of the Divine you are Birth out of His womb so to speak as we are all from the Womb of Chavah the mother of all living humanity Commonly known as Eve, that goes for Yeshua too. Just because Rome decided to bring this dogma forth in 642 CE and then finally canonize it as truth in 697 CE on a flimsy revealing does not change the natural way of birthing. Much is referenced in Historical Judaism re this and since Judaism is the root of all world religion I tend to agree more so than not with what has been handed down over 3.5 thousand years and that is G-d +One women+ One man in unity bringing forth the new life is the only historical truth.

Rome Lied for nothing less than control. It took me twenty years of serious servitude and study to tread out of the quagmire of this lie and never will I return to that Vomit.

Every man and women ever born on this planet can be assured that Chavah received the promise of the Man Child' and we are all fruit from her womb ...Now do something with it Learn to become Pious benevolent Children of the Divine and Repair the world [Tikkun olam]


Once you truly study and put down the Yetzer harah the evil impulse within and bring forth the Yetzer Tov the Good inclination it should be easy to go into your community where you are planted and do Benevolent /Charitable work for your community...

Remember you are a conduit for the Master ,...Above all enjoy your journey
