The Very Special Month of Nisan - 2025 by Sherry Lush

Even during the great events of the Passover, the Lord stopped everything to proclaim His calendar. And His calendar was to begin with the month of Nisan. *Exodus 12:1-2 Now the LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, This month is the beginning of months for you, it shall be the first month of your year.
Though Nisan is the first month, it is not the month of the New Year (Rosh HaShanah), which is in Tishrei, the 7th month. We are used to January our first month, being the month of the New Year, but not so on God's calendar. So the question arises... Why is Nisan the first month? What does it represent?

Shevat 5785 by Sherry Lush

Greetings and Shalom to All!
Here we are in the 11th month of the year called Shevat! This month is famous for the 15th of Shevat, also called Tu Be'Shevat. This is the New Year for Trees. This is important for counting the tithes of produce, and the law of 'orlah' which tells us not to consume the fruits of a tree for the first three years. In the fourth year, the fruits are sanctified and are to be eaten in Jerusalem or 'redeemed' with money. In the fifth year the fruits are eaten without restriction.
