Torah Fire Community – LIVE
שַׁבַּת קֹדֶש
Every LuniSolar Shabbat
5:00 PM EST
Torah Fire is the interactive community
where Eternal Torah burns in real time.
TFC-LIVE operates without charge, providing a real-time space to hear a fluent Hebrew reading of the Torah portion (parshah), a teaching with straight interpretation plus a bit of commentary, cultural, or historic relevancy — all for those who, like us, hold the humble conviction true wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord and by recognizing we know nothing as we ought to know.
Blessings in Messiah,
Rabbi Jacob

When Is the Lunisolar Sabbath?
A lunar month begins with the New Moon.
Then, Sabbath occurs on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th days of the lunar month.
Lunisolar Calendation
While our modern calendar depends solely on the sun,
the ancient Hebrew calendar also included moon phases.
Today, many followers of Yeshua track time the same way ancient Israel did — by the lunisolar calendar.

Foundational Instruction for the Heavens
as a Time-Keeping Mechanism
"This month (chodesh) shall be unto you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you."
Exodus 12:2 (NKJV)
הַחֹדֶשׁ הַזֶּה לָכֶם רֹאשׁ חֳדָשִׁים רִאשׁוֹן הוּא לָכֶם לְחָדְשֵׁי הַשָּׁנָה BHS
“Then God said,
‘Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years.’”
Genesis 1:14 (NKJV)
וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים יְהִי מְאֹרֹת בִּרְקִיעַ הַשָּׁמַיִם לְהַבְדִּיל בֵּין הַיּוֹם וּבֵין הַלָּיְלָה וְהָיוּ לְאֹתֹת וּלְמוֹעֲדִים וּלְיָמִים וְשָׁנִים BHS
Here, mo'adim (seasons/appointed times) are explicitly linked to the function of both the luminaries (me'orot).
In the Hebrew, chodesh (month) is etymologically derived from chadash (new), referring to the renewal of the moon. This establishes the lunar cycle as the primary unit of the biblical year.
Primacy of the Lunar Cycle
This verse provides us the specific celestial anchor for the moon as the arbiter of the mo'adim.
"He appointed the moon for seasons (mo'adim); the sun knoweth his going down."
Psalm 104:19
עָשָׂה יָרֵחַ לְמוֹעֲדִים שֶׁמֶשׁ יָדַע מְבוֹאוֹ BHS
