I'm asked often about the 7 Feasts Days that Yahuah commanded Yisra'el to keep...especially from those just coming into His truth. So...today I will list the 7 Feasts Days...I will start with the chapter of Leviticus when Mosheh gave us the commandment.

Leviticus 23

Feasts of the Lord

23 And the Lord spoke to Mosheh, saying, “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘The feasts of Elohiym, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My feasts.

The Sabbath

‘Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of Yahuah in all your dwellings.

The Passover and Unleavened Bread

‘These are the feasts of Yahuah, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times. On the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is Yahuah’s Passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to Elohiym; seven days you must eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it. But you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahuah for seven days. The seventh day shall be a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it.’”

The Feast of Firstfruits

And Yahuah spoke to Mosheh, saying, 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 Yahuah, to be accepted on your behalf; on the day after the Sabbath 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 Yahuah. 13 Its grain offering shall be two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to Yahuah, for a sweet aroma; and its drink offering shall be of wine, one-fourth of a hin. 14 You shall eat neither bread nor parched grain nor fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering to your Elohiym; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

The Feast of Weeks

15 ‘And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed. 16 Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall offer a new grain offering to Yahuah. 17 You shall bring from your dwellings two wave loaves of two-tenths of an ephah. They shall be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven. They are the firstfruits to Yahuah. 18 And you shall offer with the bread seven lambs of the first year, without blemish, one young bull, and two rams. They shall be as a burnt offering to Elohiym, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering made by fire for a sweet aroma to Yahuah. 19 Then you shall sacrifice one kid of the goats as a sin offering, and two male lambs of the first year as a sacrifice of a peace offering. 20 The priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a wave offering before Elohiym, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to Elohiym for the priest. 21 And you shall proclaim on the same day that it is a holy convocation to you. You shall do no customary work on itIt shall be a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
22 ‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field when you reap, nor shall you gather any gleaning from your harvest. You shall leave them for the poor and for the stranger: I am Yahuah your Elohiym.’”

The Feast of Trumpets

23 Then Yahuah spoke to Mosheh, saying, 24 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. 25 You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahuah.’”

The Day of Atonement

26 And Elohiym spoke to Mosheh, saying: 27 “Also the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the Day of Atonement. It shall be a holy convocation for you; you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to Elohiym. 28 And you shall do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before Yahuah your Elohiym. 29 For any person who is not afflicted in soul on that same day shall be cut off from his people. 30 And any person who does any work on that same day, that person I will destroy from among his people. 31 You shall do no manner of work; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 32 It shall be to you a sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict your souls; on the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall celebrate your sabbath.”

The Feast of Tabernacles

33 Then Elohiym spoke to Mosheh, saying, 34 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to Elohiym. 35 On the first day there shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it36 For seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahuah. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Elohiym. It is a sacred assembly, and you shall do no customary work on it.
37 ‘These are the feasts of Yahuah which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to Elohiym, a burnt offering and a grain offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, everything on its day— 38 besides the Sabbaths of Elohiym, besides your gifts, besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings which you give to Elohiym.
39 ‘Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the feast of Yahuah for seven days; on the first day there shall be a sabbath-rest, and on the eighth day a sabbath-rest40 And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before Yahuah your Elohiym for seven days. 41 You shall keep it as a feast to Yahuah for seven days in the year. It shall be a statute forever in your generations. You shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42 You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All who are native Israelites shall dwell in booths, 43 that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am Yahuah your Elohiym.’”
44 So Mosheh declared to the children of Israel the feasts of Yahuah.

Below are the dates the Feasts fall on for the year 2017 (Hebrew year 5777 according to the "jewISH calendar...remember...the dates, times, months years and seasons have been changed by the Romans and false jewISH peoples of the world). These are the Feasts that my family commemorate. The jewISH people have added some "feasts" that are NOT Torah based...I personally choose not to follow those....
On the Hebrew/Biblical calendar a day begins and ends at dusk (See Genesis 1).
Accordingly, each of these Feasts begins and ends at sundown.
